Jimpy Daily Mirror's (Complete Collection 1946 to 1952) - Hugh McClelland

 Jimpy was a short-lived British fantasy cartoon strip about a wizard

 that ran in the Daily Mirror from 1946 to 1952. 

Jimpy's creator was Hugh McClelland. 6th December 1947.

HUGH MCCLELLAND, who was born in South Africa in 1912, is the man who brings to the

SUPER COMIC readers the escapades of Jimpy. He lived in South Africa until 1924, when he went to England to commence a career as a cartoonist. Not long after his arrival he began to gather information about Jimpy, and although he served with the Royal Air Force during the war he managed to draw some of Jimpy's adventures. 

Jimpy was a short-lived British fantasy strip for children that ran in the Daily Mirror from 1946 and folded in 1952. Maurice Horn (World Encyclopedia of Comics) believes it may have been a victim of opinion polls which consistently gave Jimpy a low rating but failed to ask children, its target audience.

For those who do not know Jimpy's life story, Mr McClelland says Jimpy is a little boy who failed to pass his examinations in magic at the Royal College of Magic. Although Jimpy realised that he was not a fully qualified magician and he was not at all reliable with his magic, he decided to go into the world and seek his fortune as a magician.

Tarzan. The Complete Sunday Pages Series (1979-1981) Archie Goodwin / Gil Kane - Compiled by Voltaire57

 Gil Kane is more celebrated here. It must be said that he was also a great.

We saw him on Superman, Spiderman, Green Lantern, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, etc...

In short, a whole section of the history of comics is linked to the on

e who was born, we know it less, in Latvia.

We find him here in the complete Sunday Pages that he made for Tarzan.

It was after the death of Russ Manning, one of the best, if not the best designer

of the ape-man even though the competition with Hogarth and Foster was fierce

Frank Frazetta's Various Works - Contributed by Christian

 Frank Frazetta

(Brooklyn, N.Y., February 9, 1928 - May 10, 2010) was an American painter, cartoonist and illustrator specializing in science fiction and fantasy.

His designs marked an epoch in series such as Conan and Mad Max, which were copied by genre illustrators around the world.

He published his first stories in comic books (The Snowman) in 1944, when he was 16. Later he made series for DC Comics ("The Shining Knight" in Adventure Comics), ME ("White Indian" in Durango Kid), the classic covers of Buck Rogers and he also worked with Dan Barry in the Flash Gordon series.

Between 1965 and 1973, his creative explosion took place while working for Warren Publishing. He has left his mark on many of the current Sci-Fi illustrators (Jeff Jones, Bernie Wrightson, Michael Whelan, Don Maitz, Boris Vallejo, etc.) with a new and dynamic ¨Frazetta¨ style. At this time, he also worked as a posterist in various films.

Frank Frazetta died on May 10, 2010, at the age of 82, a victim of a stroke.
