A Very Funny Business 40 Years Of Comics
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Softcover with 136 pages and measuring 11 x 8.5 inches, it's very interesting reading for anyone interested in the Beano comic and comic art in general. One of the true masters of comic art. In this book Leo Baxendale has lifted the lid off the closed and secretive world of British comics and given the contents a quick stir. In fact Leo Baxendale has been stirring up British comics since he burst into the Beano in 1953, at the age of 22, and changed the face of comics with his anarchic, bashing and thumping 'Bash Street Kids', 'Minnie the Minx' and 'Little Plum'. The World Encyclopaedia of Comics describes Leo Baxendale as the 'most influential and most imitated comics artist of modern times'. Leo Baxendale describes himself as 'placid, liking a tranquil life. I settle down like sediment wherever I happen to be. Yet twice in my career I have taken a flying leap in the dark'. After ten years as the most popular artist in the D.C. Thomson comics Leo Baxendale walked out to create Wham comic for Odhams Press.
