PART TWO OF KRAZY COMIC #1...

For all you KRAZY fans out there, here's the remainder of IPC's file copy of issue #1, the first part which I posted recently. For some curious reason, the second half of the comic, unlike the first, did not feature the hand-written notes detailing exactly what each page cost for script, art and lettering.

Still, I thought you'd like to see the complete issue, so enjoy the remaining pages, starting with the classic DICK MILLINGTON strip above. Brilliant stuff indeed.

Unless i saw the six million dollar/bionic woman joke somewhere else,and the exercise book back cover disguise,which I am positive I actually used,even though the teachers probably did not notice...

Then ..something or other...I forget.
Its that ol age thing creeping up on me Kid.
I enjoyed this post for nostalgic reasons which I cannot fathom....yet.

I also thought I must have missed your previous post and just now went to it and I had read it...it just had not sunk in. I recognise it all,now ....but did not before ....funny that!; 23 February 2013 at 00:31

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.
