New! The Art of Ian Kennedy

With other UK publishers such as Rebellion and Titan delving into the archives of British comics it was only a matter of time before D.C. Thomson published something for collectors too. Now the company has announced The Art of Ian Kennedy as a 160 page art book to be published in April. 

The Art of Ian Kennedy will be the first "art of" book from the company's Media Heritage Comics team and there could be no better choice of an artist to celebrate. Ian Kennedy's artwork has graced many comics over his long career, and in recent years the 86 year old artist has begun attending comics conventions, much to the delight of his numerous fans. 

The book will focus on Ian's work for D.C. Thomson on comics such as Bullet, Commando, Topper, Starblazer, Warlord, and others. It will include scans of original artwork and sketches to give readers an insight into the artist's techniques. The next best thing to owning the actual artwork! 

I know this news will please many collectors across the UK and beyond, and I'm also pleased for Ian receiving such recognition which is certainly well deserved. You can pre-order the book directly from D.C. Thomson from their online shop:
