Phil Millar

Post by stevezodiac »

I always liked Phil Millar's quirky style and came across this in a copy of Blighty magazine. He mostly worked for The Sparky and also Buzz but i don't think his work ever appeared in the Beano or Dandy. He drew saucy postcards as Pedro too;

He did lots of work for those "men's mags" of the 1950s. Good to see what he looked like. Thanks, Steve! Really liked his bold brush strokes.

I can still remember when I first saw his gag cartoons (probably in Reveille) and thought his signature said Rimcar).
