Bambos Georgiou (born December 1959)
Bambos Georgiou (known as 'Bambos') was born in December 1959. Of Greek Cypriot descent, and speaking only Greek, he has said that it was the discovery of comics at the age of four that helped him learn English, although this form of education was not appreciated by some. One English teacher was thoroughly frustrated that he was always reading comics and his collection - with TV21 being his comic of choice - was thrown out by his mother (along with his Marvels and DCs!!). This only led to him becoming more determined to create his own comics.

In the 1980s he could be found creating Ratman fanzines which were sold on Paul Gravette's Fast Fiction table at Westminster Comic Marts. His first professional sales were scripts to Starblazer, Sid's Snake in Whizzer & Chips and He-man and She-Ra for London Editions.

He co-founded Acme Press in 1985 which published Speakeasy, collections of Maxwell the Magic Cat and Power Comics. Before long he became a prolific contributor - lettering and inking especially - for Marvel UK, IPC, Fat Man Press, London Editions, Titan Books, Deadline, A1, Viz and Panini UK.

He has also contributed to US comics with his inking work appearing in Savage Sword of Conan and Marvel Comics Presents (Nick Fury & Shang Chi) and DC Comics The Ray and Doom Patrol. In 2012 he co-founded the on-line comic Aces Weekly with David Lloyd.
