Great Ian Kennedy art and thanks for the great blog Peter! <br /><br />Also, if anyone's interested, Google Translate will do a pretty good job of translating the Swedish into understandable English. Enough to get the gist of the story anyway.<br /><br />http://translate.google.co.nz/#auto|en|crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569418820910409115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-65438470582358163472010-09-22T00:13:49.897+01:002010-09-22T00:13:49.897+01:00There was a 4 issue limited series published by Ac...There was a 4 issue limited series published by Acme Press/Eclipse in the late 80s (1988?) that reprinted some of Bolland's and Gibbons' work.<br /><br />I have a feeling Ron Smith did some work for the African market too.<br /><br />Here's a cover that DG did for one of the reprint editions:<br /><br />http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=505972&GSub=71019<br /><br />And here's a link to Bolland's website:<br /><br />http://www.brianbolland.net/gallery/powerman.html<br /><br />I have one issue of the limited series somewhere.

The interview with Brian Bolland revealed that it was in fact his first regular strip and he alternated with Dave Gibbons on the artwork.<br /><br />Hmmmmmmm... it would be great to feature some of that artwork(?)Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-79384785827232202722010-09-16T00:24:58.115+01:002010-09-16T00:24:58.115+01:00Fascinating stuff!

Everybody knows about the so-called 'British Invasion' of American comics, but we rarely hear about the amount of work that British creators have produced for other parts of the world. Only this week I was looking at a 1975 issue of Powerman - a comic starring a black, African superhero that was sold in Nigeria yet printed in Carlisle, for which Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland produced some wonderful artwork: most of it never even seen in their native land. Very odd!<br /><br />Also, though the UK's proud tradition of girls' comics came to a sad end when Bunty ceased publication some years ago few people on these shores realized that DC Thomson continued to produce a successful title called Wendy for the European market, featuring art by the likes of Barrie Mitchell, Jim Colthorpe, and the late Phil Gascoigne. As far as I'm aware it is still being published today.<br /><br />And that doesn't even begin to cover the homegrown strips like Robot Archie and Janus Stark which continued elsewhere in new stories long after their British series came to an end...Phil Rushtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115717268103349676noreply@blogger.com
