Encyclopedia Of Comic Characters

Capturing over 1200 comic characters, this is a rare and unusual book from an acknowledged expert in the field.

Denis Gifford's prolific career as a cartoonist included both newspaper strips and comics, almost entirely for British publishers.

Gifford's early work was with DC Thomson and the majority of his work was for humour strips, but he went on to cover various genres and styles, including adventure, detective, science fiction, Western and superheroes.

Gifford was most productive as a comics artist in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. By the early 1970s Gifford's writing career, mainly on the subjects of comics and film history, began to take over from his work as a cartoonist in his own right.
