Ivy the Terrible (2014)

Hard to believe it was nine years ago when I drew a series featuring Ivy the Terrible for The Beano . The character had originally been drawn by Robert Nixon in the 1980s of course, but she was revived a few times over the years and in 2014 I was assigned to draw her.  I thoroughly enjoyed doung this series, helped immensely by good scripts from John Anderson (and, if memory serves me correctly, Iain McLaughlin and Stu Munro wrote good ones for me too).  Here are a couple of examples from 2014, both written by John Anderson and drawn/coloured by me. (Click on images to see them full size.) The half page format really suited the character I think; setting the scene, a burst of energy, then the punchline. Timeless comic stuff. I'll dig out some more examples of my work from over the past 40 years in future posts. What would you like to see? Comment below. *********************
