Thank you, Comixminx, and thanks also for sending the email address. I'll send you the draft and list as soon as I can.

Thanks also, Colcool. Can you remember anything more about the picture libraries that he did? I've only been able to find the two Judys included in the list.

I don't know if any of you already knew this, but I have just found that John Richardson died recently. Here's a link to a Facebook message from his son.

A brilliant, original and very underrated artist. Rest in peace, and thank you.

Thank you Goof! Post is being cut&pasted - I will post a link here as well, once it it has been published (tomorrow I should think).

I have ended up posting it in two parts:

and

Many thanks again to Goof!

I just found another two: When the Clock Stopped and The Haunted Room. Strange Stories that appeared in June, 1 January 1972 and 18 March 1972.

Thank you, Tammyfan. Here's a revised list below.

I see they've been added to the list on the Jinty website, thank you.

Here's an updated list, including an entry for his work as filler artist on Sandie's "Jeannie and her Uncle Meanie".





Edited 28/11/20 to add updated list.
Edited 16/7/21.

A further small amendment, to the list of Tammy Strange Stories. The story shown speculatively as "The Pharoh's Daughter's Stand-In" was "The Stand-In", published in the issue of 12 July 1980. I'll amend the entry in a future list.

I've edited the last version of the list above to add a couple of items, including a short serial from Mandy.

John Richardson's stint as artist for the Leopardman in Buster began 5 June 1982 and ended 16 October 1982.

Thank you for that information.

Thanks for posting the link. I enjoyed his letter to SSI News. I was also interested in the post about "Chill", as this is by some way the most recent piece of his art that I've seen. Sad that an artist of his talent and originality should be spending what seems to have been the tail-end of his career drawing ice cream ads.

Poor bloke, reduced to drawing ice-cream ads. I guess it's because of the sad days British comics have fallen upon. No titles for John Ricardson artwork.
