I love the way Ron constantly altered his technique to suit the subject matter: here for example everything is drawn in pure colour with no black lines - presumably to suit the young audience Princess was originally intended for (later on, of course, it began to aim at a slightly more sophisticated readership with strips like 'Slave Girl of Rome' and Mike Hubbard's 'Jane Bond'!)<br /><br />Incidentally, going by this illustration that appeared in a !980 portfolio produced by the SSI it's clear that Mr. Slinn was no slouch as an artist in his own right. <br /><br />http://i55.tinypic.com/icr8f9.jpg<br /><br />...Perhaps if you asked him nicely he might provide you with some more scans of his work to use as the basis of a future post? I for one would be fascinated to hear about his days working alongside such legendary figures as Joe Colquhoun and the Embleton brothers!Phil Rushtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115717268103349676noreply@blogger.com
