Masters of British Comic Art

Thanks to artist/writer David Roach for the brief unexpected mention in his new book Masters of British Comic Art, a huge near-400 page hardback that's available now. Nice to see Oink! included in the text.

Masters of British Comic Art is published by Rebellion and is essential for fans of UK comics (and of comic art in general). About a third of the book covers the history of British comic art, with profusely illustrated chapters on comics for humour, nursery, adventure, girls comics, newspaper strips, undergrounds, and more. The rest is an art book, showing beautifully reproduced pages mostly shot from the original artwork!

Bookshops and comic shops now closed for the duration of the pandemic, but you can still order it directly from the publisher (which is what I did). You'll find the details at this link along with other books currently available from Rebellion:
