Kampfgruppe Falken

 Neville Wilson illustrates this episode from the 2nd of December, 1978 issue of Warlord. I like the quiet cynicism and world-weariness of this strip. The characters are just trying to survive as best as they can under very extreme circumstances. 






PC49

 Some beautiful linework from John Worsley from Eagle, dated 11th November, 1955.


During World War 2 Worsley served in the Royal Navy and was captured in 1943 and spent the remainder of the conflict in a prisoner of war camp. While incarcerated he continued to paint and draw. These images come from the book, John Worsley's War, published in 1993.

Captain Condor

 Some original Geoff Campion art from Lion. Not sure of the year but I assume it's early-to-mid 1960s. I like the handles on the side of his space boots. So sensible!

Kung Fu

Muscles By The Minute

 This one-pager appeared in Alley Sloper magazine, issue 2 October, 1976.



The Daredevils

 Cover by Paul Neary from 1983, with various bits and pieces. I was reading an issue of Magnus Robot Fighter from May 1967, where I came across a rather grumpy missive from a teenage PN. Personally, I disagree, the interior art by Russ Manning is gorgeous. Anyway, moving-along...
