Ernest Ratcliff

Ernest Ratcliff drew the newspaper pin-up comic 'Lindy' for the London Evening News in the 1960s. The comic also appeared in the French paper Paris-Jour.

He also illustrated Rick Random and the Mystery of the Knights of Space (Super Detective 139, November 1958), a Robin Hood book, a 1950s detective story cover and as early as 1939 a depiction of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.

He illustrated an episode The Wise Man of Vorg for the science fiction comic series The Rise and Fall of The Trigan Empire that appeared in Ranger in 1966.

Ratcliff painted many illustrations for the children's story paper Once Upon A Time in the 1970s, including mini-serialisations of the story of 'Doctor Livingstone meets Henry Stanley' and 'Magda the Snomwaiden'. He also illustrated (including covers) a children's book about Robin Hood in the 1970s.
