Penny Farthing

Received some copies of some of my earliest pro work from David Roach today...

I pencilled this strip for Bunty when I was sixteen and Ken Houghton inked it. I haven't seen this stuff since I drew it in 1981 as I never kept copies of the pages. I bought a few issues off the stands when they came out the following year but had missed the first few episodes.

What an amazing concept for a story; surely ripe for you to do a reinvention?

Bunty and comics like it were full of stories like this. Nothing quite like it nowadays.

All of that publishers comics were lettered the same way.
