A two-page black & white Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea comic strip was published in the first six issues of TV Tornado, before being replaced with text stories until issue 14.
Here's the first complete two-page strip, drawn by Mick Anglo
Voyage appeared sharing the front cover on a few occasions, as well as one on the cover of issue 54 long after the strip had finished in the comic.
I love that dynamic black and white line art. Comic Artists talk about "Spotting the blacks" which refers to how shadows are represented as solid patches of black, as opposed to cross-hatching or zip tones.
ReplyDelete...and the art here with its dynamic streams of bubbles, to depict movement
- masterful!
Art by Mick Anglo , Lewis. He was quite prolific in the fifties and sixties as a promoter, editor, and artist.
DeleteI am fascinated by that first cover of TV Tornado - the Seaview has no front window! Was this taken from an early prototype, or just an artist boo-boo? SFZ
