Welcome.
The reason that I have created this site is to promote the art of the
people who illustrated the comics I read as a child.
When I started trawling this wonderful entity we call the World Wide
Web there were dozens of sites promoting the art of American comics,
but hardly any dedicated to British comics. So, after years of procrastination
here is my contribution.
As
a child I started out reading Victor and Hotspur, followed by Warlord
and Battle. In later years 2000AD and Warrior followed by the inevitable
move to American comics. As the years go by Ive been drawn back
to the comics of my youth. I love the quirky characters and story lines.
And the art of course!!
Initially, my plan is to have a higher graphics content so the artists
development and style changes over the years can be seen. Maybe the
essays will come later! I plan to have some bios eventually.
This site is dedicated to those artists and their wonderful work.
I hope for some of you it brings back nice memories and to others a
window to a different world.
Jim
Croasdale.
