 Mike was working at a stand selling original comic artwork. I'd actually stopped because I'd spotted some original Tam Patterson artwork amongst some random Buster and Whizzer and Chips piles and I was looking to purchase them when Mike mentioned he'd drawn for Whizzer and Chips in the past. Rather embarrasingly, I realised very quickly that I didn't recognise the strips he'd drawn because they were from the era before mine. I starting reading W&C in the latter half of the eighties, whereas Mike drew his work in the late seventies. Nevertheless, he was kind enough to do a sketch for me featuring The Cloak, Mole and Shortstuff (from Pow!) and Thundercap from Buster. (Birmingham International Comics Show 2009) |
