BABE OF THE DAY - DALIAH LAVI...

So there I was at the dancing the other

night with the delectable DALIAH LAVI,

when she tries to make me jealous by cosying

up to another man. Not that I was bothered,

'cos I was busy snogging the face off the sen-

sational SALMA HAYEK. (Honest! Why

doesn't anybody ever believe me?!)

TC said...: I believe you, Kid. I also believe that professional wrestling is real.

This pic looks like the Detainer ("I'm the new secret weapon...and I've just been perfected") from Casino Royale (1967). The movie was a mess, but Daliah was cool.; 18 April 2017 at 04:28
Kid said...: Of course professional wrestling is real, TC - I'm seen it on the telly. Daliah is one cool chick and one hot burd. (Which cancels each other out, so she's a happy medium. Like Doris Stokes used to be.); 18 April 2017 at 12:03
TC said...: RIP, Daliah. (12 October 1942-3 May 2017); 30 May 2017 at 19:20
Kid said...: That's a shame. She was only in her mid-'70s too.; 30 May 2017 at 19:31

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.
