Synopsis

A hardback collection of some of the funniest strips in British comics, from legendary humour cartoonist Tom Paterson! 

Scottish artist Tom Paterson is one of the most inventive and influential cartoonists British comics have produced. Inspired by the work of George Martin, Leo Baxendale and Ken Reid, Tom became a comic artist at a young age, working for Fleetway and DC Thomsons on such classic strips as Sweeny Toddler, Calamity James, Buster, Grimly Feendish, The Numskulls, Bananaman and Dennis the Menace.

At the beginning of his career Tom was ghosting artists like Baxendale, but his own style and sense of humour quickly developed and Tom’s work soon became unmistakable. His trademark stinky, striped sock often appeared in the panels of his work – a useful identifier born out of an age where publishers frowned upon artists signing their work. Along with the sock came the additional, visual comedic gags scattered throughout the strips, giving each one that instant re-readability.

This collection features some of Tom’s outstanding colour and black & white strip work for IPC/Fleetway from titles like Buster, Whoopee!, Jackpot, Whizzer & Chips and Oink! amongst others. With quotes from the man himself and some extra, added treasures, this is a must have for fans of British humour comics both young and old!

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

After a promising start to life, Keith Richardson found himself chained to Tharg’s Cosmic hamster wheel sometime in the early noughties. There he remains, collating zarjaz! 2000 AD & Treasury of British Comics collections and commissioning the odd special here and there.

Scottish artist Tom Paterson was spotted at an early age by The Dandy editor Albert Barnes, who wanted to hire him for a strip called The Dangerous Dumplings which was to run in a new comic title. When the project was scrapped Paterson came to the attention of IPC, who he started to work for not long after leaving school. Inspired by George Martin, Leo Baxendale (with whom his work is most often compared) and Ken Reid, Paterson's kinetic style brought new life to Buster, Sweeny Toddler and Grimly Feendish as well as brand new creations that featured in a host of IPC titles including Oink!, Whizzer and Chips and School Fun. He moved over to DC Thomson in the 80s, taking on their lead characters Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx and Banana Man. Today, Tom regularly contributes to Viz comic and has been a regular on the Cor!! Buster specials.
