Red Star Robinson

Art by Terry Patrick.

Davy Crockett

Art by Ron Smith. The Hotspur annual 1973. I picked this one mainly because I love the way RS rendered the bear in frame one.  I've stripped the colour in the last frame to give a better view of the line-work.

The Hotspur

Cover art by Ron Smith.

I was quite taken aback when I originally saw this cover. The Union Jack Jackson I knew had 'originally' appeared in Warlord in the mid 1970s. Nothing like recycling an old character for a new generation-eh?

Zigimar-Master Spy

Terry Patrick provides the fun for this WW1 adventure from The Hotspur January 21st 1967.

The Hotspur annual 1976

Ron Smith provides a cover depicting Nick Jolly, an 18th century highwayman, who's transported into the 20th century by an 'amazing Time Ray, which had also transformed his trusty mare, Bess, into a jet-propelled horse of steel'. Apparently....

No, this isn't the original art. For some reason I thought it'd be interesting to see it sans text, so I did a little PShop jiggery-pokery. Yep, I don't get out much.....
