Frank Frazetta - Famous Funnies #214 Buck Rogers (Eastern Color, 1954)
One of my favorites. His words: "I did those covers at a time when I had total mastery. I could draw anything and draw it superbly. Remember that, up to that point, I had been drawing in pen and ink for 10 years professionally. I was drawing every day. The more you draw, the better it gets. At least, that's the way it worked with me. I tried to vary my approach on each one of the Famous Funnies covers -- different subjects and different rendering techniques. I don't want to bore the fans by imitating myself and I certainly don't want to bore myself. The guys loved my covers. Steve Douglas (the art editor of Famous Funnies) just loved my stuff. It really is some of the best drawing I ever did. Some would argue that the Canaveral Plates from the early '60s were better. Maybe they're right. All I know is that I was very pleased with those Famous Funnies covers -- they are me at my very best."

America celebrates National Comic Book Day today, Monday 25th September, an annual event honouring the art, artists, and stories of comic books. Fans, collectors, readers, and artists come together to celebrate the day with events across the country. Perhaps, as a nation with an even older tradition of comic creation, we should adopt the day too?
Although it’s long been argued Glasgow had comics…
