PART TWO OF BACK TO THE FUTURE...

Welcome back, all you jaunty JOHNNY FUTURE fans, as we present the second instalment of the former MISSING LINK's foray into fantasy as a costumed superhero, from the pages of FANTASTIC way back in the swinging 1960s. LUIS BERMEJO is the awesome artist responsible for these powerful pictures, and he's as good an illustrator as you're likely to find in the cataclysmic world of comics.

Looking at the page below, there seems to be a missing caption from the top tier's middle pic. Did it fall off, or was it removed prior to printing? We'll never really know, so your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, it doesn't seem to affect the story, so let's not lose any sleep over it as we surge ahead and immerse ourselves in this five - count 'em, five - page extravaganza of action and adventure!

And be sure to come back for Part Three.

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artist on various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artist and spot illustrator on pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

For MARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as a restoration artist for MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.

Have also made TV appearances as a collector of memorabilia.
