Australian and New Zealand Artists working in English Comics

[crow]

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

[matthew emery]

was a Rufus an englishman who worked in New Zealand comics or a New Zealander who worked in English comics?

[paddybrown]

Rufus is actually Irish. From somewhere in the north, I believe, but can't be more precise than that.

Murray Ball, who contributed to Punch and drew Thor Thumb in The Topper, is a New Zealander who lived in the UK for a while.
He later returned to New Zealand where he wrote and drew Footrot Flats.
(If you don't know Footrot Flats, you should. There are lots of images at http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=footro ... 80&bih=827)

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.
