This is the unique original Ink drawing by John Gillatt.
A rare, huge page of original art from the popular SF strip Jet Ace Logan in the comic Tiger and Hurricane, dated 15th July 1967. Brilliant pen and ink work.
This is an extremely good example of John Gillatt's work, and is from one of the most remembered Jet-Ace Logan stories 'Giants from Space'.
The text is all hand drawn and is pasted on as a single panel.
Jet-Ace Logan is regarded as one of the greatest SF comic strips ever created for British comics.
There is a small 1cm tear in the lower left of the page and a small fold to the same corner. These are both rather inconsequential to the beauty of the artwork.
John Gillatt John Gillatt is a British artist who mainly draws football comics. His most famous series is probably 'Billy's Boots'. The series is about the little boy Billy Dane, who got incredible football skills through his boots. The series was later continued by Mike Western.
John's credits in British comics span decades, including work on “Jet Ace Logan”, “Johnny Cougar”, “Dan Dare” (for New Eagle, which Barrie edited) and, perhaps most famously, the opening episodes of “Billy's Boots” for Scorcher. (A strip that went on to further success in Holland where Billy Dane was transplanted to the continent and, unlike his British incarnation, grew up to become a talented football star in his own right, as Lew Stringer recounted on Blimey! It's Another Blog About Comics back in 2010 – a version kick started with some deft new art by John).
Gillatt first drew 'Jet-Ace Logan' for Comet and later Tiger in the late 1950s. In 1989 he took on the daily 'Scorer' comic for The Mirror, along with writer Barrie Tomlinson and fellow artist David Pugh.
