Hi buddy and many thanks again for all the memories dude - I can help a wee bit with the Mark Strong strip inasmuch as I'm 99.999999% sure the artist is the great Brian Lewis. I often try to collect the strips as complete stories separated from the comic and I'm sure I'll be able to get most of the strip together with a bit of digging - will be in touch as I progress but give me a shout on billstorie@hotmail.com if you need any more on that strip. Cheers!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Mike. I am familiar with Brian Lewis, who worked on TV21 and Countdown, but never spotted this, Brian doesn't have a particular style that you can pinpoint to him, unlike someone like Mike Noble, unmistakeable. The section has been updated to include Brian's name.
