Fraser of Africa

By Frank Bellamy for the Eagle dated 15th October 1960. In this series Bellamy took the unusual step of doing away with full colour and utilising a limited palette to evoke the heat and dust of the African plains.

  1. Hi
    I've only just found your blog. I love the Bellamy illustrations and the way you've combined them together. The Fraser has come out a bit green which a shame, but your Eagle cover of his work is beuatifully scanned,

  2. Hey Norman.
    Point taken about the colour. Because of their size, I have to scan the Eagle pages in two pieces and stitch them back together in PShop. For some reason the scans came out with differing colour schemes and I had to try to adjust them to fit together neatly. It went a little awry this time around... Sorry about that, it doesn't do the artwork justice. I'll have another crack at it sometime in the future.

    I like your site by the way. Thanks for dropping me a line, it's nice to know there are people checking it out.

    :)

  3. Did a re-scan. Hopefully this one is better?

    Cheers.
