CAN YOU SPOT THE CLUE WITH ZIP NOLAN...?

I can't help but feel that with a name like ZIP NOLAN, he should've been a spaceman like DAN DARE. Having said that though, I always enjoyed whatever tales I read of ol' Zip, and I'd buy a collected edition of them if someone was prepared to publish one. Let's hope the copyright owners (whoever they are) are reading, eh?

Guess what? This is from the 1971 LION & THUNDER Holiday Special. Whaddya mean you knew? (Sheesh! I must be getting more predictable with each passing day.)

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.
