How about Wally Fawkes, who went by the pen name Trog. He drew the newspaper strip, Flook in the Daily Mail?

That kinda looks like Julio Schiaffino's work. The scans are kinda small though. Sometimes it's easier to identify an artist when there are a few pages of the same strip to view.

It looks like Ron Tiner to me.

To me, some of the poses look like Mike White. It's definately not Bolland, Gibbons or Bolton.

Have I ever been published? I had some work in Bulldog Adventure Magazine back in the early 90s. And recently I illustrated a two-page strip for issue 19 of Futurequake:

I think DCT should join up with someone like IDW in the States. IDW already re-package older material (Marvel UK Doctor Who strips from the 80s for example.). I did wonder if the art could be reformatted in some way? Or even coloured? Maybe it's not economically viable to do that?

As to Grant ...

Just to clear up the matter in regards to Rufus Dayglo's nationality I asked him:


Definitely not a KIwi! haha
I just lived there a while.

I live in London, as I have for the last 16/17 years.

I'm a Londoner.

Hm, the Young Aces of Space looks like Mike White in places. It's definately not Selby Donnison or Geoff Campion.

I'm quite surprised that DCT haven't released a collection of Grant Morrison's Starblazer work. I would assume it'd be a quite popular one for all the GM completists out there.

It looks like Neville Wilson to me. That is such lovely artwork. I love the anthology format of older British comics.

Um, I saw my blog, British Comic Art mentioned earlier in this thread. I haven't died or anything and have been meaning to get new stuff on there but have been pretty busy with ...

Rufus Dayglo, Martin Edmond, Roger Langridge and Murray Ball are Kiwis. All are working, or have worked in English comics.

I love my Charley's War, Dan Dare, Johnny Red and The Spider collections but I think digital is the only way to go for fans to see more of that old stuff again.

Yes please, collections of Lion, Valiant, Action and Battle. But please index the pages so we get the choice to read each story from week ...

Wow, Phil, I had no idea that Marney had made an appearence somewhere else! What lovely stuff it is, too. I wonder who the artist was? And did Scott have anything to do with it? What title was it featured in?
Sorry, I know that you are supposed to be asking me questions, but I was just amazed to ...

John Stokes sent me another message over the weekend regarding your questions:

One thing that I forgot to say to Muffy and philcom 55 was that 'Marney
the Fox' held the distinction of being both the favourite and the least
favourite story in 'Buster' reader's polls at the same time. It was a ...

Hey Guys.

John Stokes got back to me with the answers to your questions. Here you go:



I would love to know more about his time on the 'Star Trek' strip in 'TV21', which he handled for over 2 years from 1971-1973. I noticed he dropped in the odd alien from the TV series, and wondered if he ...

Hey Guys.

Thanks for the questions!
The interview will end up on my blog. I'll most definately give you a heads-up when it appears.

Jim.
