John M. Burns was one of Britain's, if not the world's, finest continuity artists.

In a career spanning over 60 years, he produced vast amounts of work for numerous British weeklies including TV Express, The Hotspur, Boys' World, Diana, Wham!, Lady Penelope, TV Action, Look-in, 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine as well as working for publishers in Europe and the USA.

He also drew hundreds of newspaper strips: The Seekers; Danielle; George and Lynne; Modesty Blaise; Eartha; Jane and Psycops to name but a few.

Although always in demand, John found time between his numerous long term work commitments to help John Dakin in his quest to revive the British newspaper comic strip. Unfortunately this revitalisation never happened, but over a 15 year period, both Johns created characters, strips and full colour pages that, until now have barely been seen by the public.

Reproducing 40 colour pages, including all 25 pages of their unfinished epic, A Surfeit of Assassins, numerous strips, sketches and roughs, this book truly reveals the unseen art of John M. Burns.
