EXTRACTS: The Art of the Trigan Empire © 2013 Book Palace (76 PAGES in Full edition)

the art of the trigan empire 1 trigan empire original art own a work of art from comic strip history Along with Dan Dare, the Trigan Empire was the longest running and most popular adventure comic strip ever produced for British comics. Printed in full colour on superior paper in Look and Learn the art stood apart from all its contemporaries. As well as being a gripping adventure story, the principal reason for its huge success was the lush art itself. The artistic skill of Don Lawrence in visually creating the worlds of Trigan established a standard of illustration that many of his contemporary artists aspired to emulate. Stunning colours and dramatic pages of art helped the adventures of the Trigan Empire to become a firm favourite for comic and art fans alike, so much so that original copies of Look and Learn magazine are much sought after and sales of the new reprint books of the Trigan Empire prove that the art is as popular today as it was 40 years ago. Don Lawrence and Ron Embleton shared the same agent and when Don needed a break from the strip, Ron stood in and created some of his best ever comic strip work. Both artists clearly admired each other’s work and both were at the top of their field. After Lawrence’s departure from the strip, Miguel Quesada, Philip Corke, Oliver Frey and Gerry Wood continued to sustain its high level of artistic achievement.
