One of the interior images from The Village of Fame was turned into this striking cover: https://jintycomic.wordpress.com/galleries/cover-gallery/#jp-carousel-3278
I had the pleasure of meeting Jim at Lucca decades ago. A fine guy and a incredibly talented artist.
(Love the snooty girl's snooty dog.)
That's a really eye-catching cover. Thanks for the link, Jenni.
I was having a pie and a pint with Mike Higgs tonight, Smurfswacker, who was a friend of Jim's and was also with him at Lucca that year. Jim was also one of the attendees at the very first UK comic con, 50 years ago.
This isn't an appropriate response but... I am curious how the girls in the next episode of "Village of Fame" are going to disgrace their school. Oh well... "Bash Street Kids", "Swots and Blots", and even "Space School" find a new way to do that every week.
I've no idea, Robert, sorry. I only have a handful of issues of Jinty.
I was given (from a cousin) and old TV action annual today.. just had time for a quick flip through and noticed the name 'Jim Baikie' on the Doctor Who strip.. I throught, where have i head that name of late?... just had to double check and damn.. not the best ways of remember a name but good art.
