Some history........
The page above featured in the recent 'Just1Page' charity comic (Issue 3 -
see the website for further details!).
For those of you not familiar with 'Just1Page - it is a comic full of 1
page pictures and strips produced by industry professionals and aspiring
amateurs alike with all profits from the comic being donated to Childline.
To raise further money, a lot of the work featured will be auctioned over
the coming weeks - starting with the original artwork to the page shown
above.
About the page.......
The jpeg shows the page in it's published form - the actual artwork only
differs in so far as it is not lettered and does not have black borders
around the panels (although I could add the black borders if the
auction-winner so wishes).
The original artwork is on A3 Bristol board (approximately 30cm x 42cm) and
finished in permanent black ink.
I will also include a high-quality A4 print (approximately published size)
of the finished page as it appeared in 'Just1Page'.
The strip was written by Eddie Robson - his website appeared as a credit in
'Just1Page', but I didn't see his actual name. So here it is!
A plea on behalf of the artist.....
Please don't let this sell for a pound ! ! !
It took a long time to complete under hectic circumstances. It also comes
with the added bonus (??) of coming with extra-sentimental value (I started
it as I sat in hospital with my newborn first child sleeping on my knee).
So it would be appreciated if it went to a good home (.....the page that
is, not my first child).
This is also the first time I have parted with a picture in over a decade -
and it hurts already.
I think that will do for pleading.
Thanks for listening!
Simon Penter.
