CAPTAIN CONDOR ARTISTS

 Some examples of the various artists who contributed to the Captain Condor comic strip in Lion.

Beginning with Ron Forbes,  who had what I best describe as a unique style, and certainly not in the same league as the Dan Dare artists, but he got the job done, and remember the Lion was the cheaper option, so no shiny quality paper here.

N.B. Lion  did eventually outlive and swallow up the original Eagle in the late sixties. The new Eagle would have the opportunity to return the favour some time later!

Ron's spaceships definitely had a Buck Rogers look about them.

Neville Wilson took over from Ron, and there is an improvement in  the art in my opinion. 

Geoff Campion did a stint on the Condor strip. One of his Condor stories would be reprinted a few years later in Ranger magazine, although it's retitled, Rip Solar.

Arguably, the best artist to work on Captain Condor, Keith Watson. You could be forgiven for thinking it was a Dan Dare strip.

Reg Bunn did some lovely detailed work. He was better known as the artist on Lion's, The Spider strip.

Captain Condor had a spell as a text story. I think the accompanying art is Reg Bunn.

Finally, excellent art provided by Brian Lewis.
