Marking 50 years since his passing, this gift book looks back at the art of legendary British comic artist Dudley D. Watkins and his illustrious career at powerhouse publisher DC Thomson. With work spanning over forty years, the book contains comics from publications as diverse as The Sunday Post, The Topper, The Beezer, The Skipper Book for Boys and, of course, Beano and The Dandy. Familiar characters include several of Watkins’’ own creation, such as Desperate Dan, Biffothe Bear, Mickey the Monkey and Ginger, as well as nostalgic staples like Lord Snooty. The Broons and Oor Wullie comic strips continue to be printed in Watkins’’ original style every week in The Sunday Post.
