Lew Stringer Comics: Ellis is back today!

Ellis is back today!

I had a pleasant surprise today to find that my strip Ellis's Great Escapes is back in the Beano this week! (I expected it to return mid-September.) It feels good to be part of the Beano community again after a long and stressful summer.

I believe the strip will run until sometime in December. I'm currently working on the ones for November anyway.

Here's a glimpse of my original art for this week's strip...

The Beano No.4051 is in the shops now! 36 full colour pages for £2.75.

Cover art by Laura Howell.
