From the same stash of the British weekly TV 21 Century as the Daleks story I showed you ealrier this week, comes a long story with characters from the Gerry Anderson puppies series Stingray. It is drawn by Ron Embleton, who might be better know from his Little Annie Fanny imitation Wicked Wanda. I personally first saw his work when he did a fill-in story for The Trigan Empire for Don Lawrence, which I read when I was a kid. His 'glowing' colors seemed extra special to me, although in later years it seemed a bit like an unnecessary trick. He certainly wasn't the master story teller Don Lawrence was.
Love Stingray. I've still got all my comics
ReplyDeleteI have revisited Embleton while doing the dossirs for the dutch reedition of The Trigan Empire. I must say, he as a lot better than I remember or give him credit for here. Especially his year long run on Wrath of the Gods.
