PART SIX OF THE DALEKS SWEET CIGARETTE CARDS BY CADET...

Well, what more can be said about CADET's DALEKS sweet cigarette cards that you don't already know? Nothing I can think of, but if you have something to add, feel free to do so in the comments section. Go on - share your knowledge with the rest of us.

Only another 20 cards to go for a complete set, so don't forget to be here when the next five appear in part seven.

Kid said...: You're right, JP - I hadn't even noticed that there were two stories, having given the text on each card little more than a cursory glance.; 12 September 2013 at 14:47
John Pitt said...: The back of the box design was slightly different for the 2 separate stories.; 12 September 2013 at 15:09
Anonymous said...: These cards look terrible to me, like parts of a hastily drawn storyboard! But, through the eyes of nostalgia they look beautiful to those who saw them half a century ago! It is all very subjective.

What about the new DR Who figurine collection? What is your opinion of those and also the Star Trek model magazine.; 12 September 2013 at 22:26
Kid said...: Anon, would you pick a name for yourself when commenting so that I can tell who's who? I won't be publishing any more comments submitted via the anonymous option unless they have a name affixed to them.

I won't be buying any of the Star Trek models, apart perhaps from the original TV Enterprise, and I may buy a couple of Daleks - but that'll be it. I no longer have space for such collections.; 13 September 2013 at 00:24

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.
