A King Fled for Freedom

A lovely Gerry Embleton pen and ink illustration from Look and Learn, dated 3rd February 1973.

Portugee's Ride

Art by Gerry Embleton for a prose story from the Eagle annual 1973.

Lore of the West

By Gerry Embleton from  the Lone Star annual 1962(?).

You Know Their Names

... but..! Did you know what they did? Jeez, that title's a mouthful. Anyway, this week in Lion dated 14th December 1963,  it was Samuel Colt. Below is some nice art by Gerry Embleton.

Anyone listen to America: Empire of Liberty on BBC radio?  Quite an interesting show, each episode in quite digestible chunks.  Anyway, back to the scheduled program:

Border Snatch

These Gerry Embleton pieces come from the Tiger annual 1963. Never really hear much about GE compared to his brother, Ron. Ron Embleton's art was a lot slicker and more 'commercial' I guess? I prefer Gerry's work-it's a bit grittier.

The Phantom Patrol

Gerry Embleton draws this episode from Swift dated 28th April 1962. Some lovely work here. Just look at the lines in the enlarged image at the end of the episode.

*Don't forget folks: there's a reprint edition of this strip coming out in August. See here for details. Tell 'em Jim sent you and maybe I'll get a comp copy?

The Phantom Patrol

A bit of a departure from the norm: some contemporary British Comic Art by Chris Weston. CW has created the cover for a reprint of this series which originally appeared in Swift comic in the early sixties. See here for more info.



Here's a page drawn by the original artist for the series, Gerry Embleton.

The Sword of the Fighting Farchards

From The Hornet January 9th 1971 with art by Gerry Embleton. It's interesting to see his work amongst the typical DC Thomson style of art for adventure comics for this period. There's so much thought and detail put into the pages.
