#40yearsofcomics I’ve been drawing comics professionally for 40 years this year, so I’m going to post some art from each year I’ve been working. Most pieces are in The Art Of Sean Phillips written by @EddieRobson and published by @DynamiteComics
#40yearsofcomics #1980 my first job, pencilled when I was 15 for Judy Annual inked by Ken Houghton and published by @DC_Thomson
#40yearsofcomics #1981 After Ken drew the first episode of Penny Farthing for #Bunty comic, I pencilled the next 12 episodes which he inked. Published by @DC_Thomson
#40yearsofcomics #1982 In The Clutches of Killar from Diana Annual, published by @DC_Thomson And a couple of sample pieces drawn back then. Big @FrankMillerInk and @klausjansonnyc influence on the Daredevil pic. Kaos was for a newspaper competition and written by @PeteDoree
