REG PARLETT was one of the greats! Anyone who knows anything about the history of British comics art would never even consider disputing that simple, incontrovertible fact for a second. Anything and everything he drew was imbued with a spontaneity and deftness of line that was effective, pleasing on the eye, funny, and seemingly (and no doubt deceptively) easily accomplished.
What we have here is an episode of RENT-A-GHOST LTD., from the March 17th 1973 issue of BUSTER. Each panel has been scanned from the original art, and I've included the published page to allow you to do a direct comparison, enabling you to appreciate Reg Parlett's artwork at its finest!
And, to my eyes, that's mighty fine indeed!
Great to see Reg Parlett's original art - I put Reg right up there with the very best - the thing I liked about him was he drew mostly adult characters (and a certain cat..and some crows) and not just kids. My Saturday morning comics always had at least two or three Reg Parlett strip when I was a kid, everyone was a gem.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, he drew Buster himself for a good long run. I never saw a Reg Parlett strip that wasn't an absolute joy to look at, McScotty. A terrific artist.
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent piece of artwork.
ReplyDeleteYou can depend on Reg Parlett not to let you down, George.
