Tom Kerr
Tom Kerr was a British comic strip artist whose work has appeared in comics such as Look-in, the Eagle, Valiant, and TV21. He has also drawn for many annuals of the 1960s and 1970s, including the Monkees annuals, Look-in annuals etc.

Tom Kerr began his career in the late 1940s, drawing 'Little Lew' for Pets' Playtime Comic published by Philmar. Then in the 1950s he drew 'Fay' in the Weekend Mail Comic and 'Monty Carstairs' in Mickey Mouse Weekly. He also drew for girls comics such as Marilyn ('Mum', 'Wham! My Man!'), School Friend, Girls' Crystal and June.

Strips include Boy Bandit in Jag Comic (later Tiger) 1968-1969 and the Tara King/The Avengers strip in TV Comic (1968). He also worked for comics such as Lion, Buster, Thunder, The Eagle, Knockout, Valiant, Princess, TV21, Lady Penelope, Solo, and Jet.

He was present in Buster from the early 1960s with his own comic 'Rip Kerrigan', but also with fill-ins on 'Kelly's Eye', 'Captain Hurricane', 'The Steel Claw', 'Charlie Peace', 'Kraken' and 'Black Axe'. Longer running serials were 'Life with Uncle Lionel' (1963-65) and 'Mary Jo' (1964-67) for Princess. Among the other comics he drew were 'Boy Bandit' in Jag Comic (later Tiger) in 1968-1969, 'Tara King/Avengers' in TV Comic (1968) and 'Oddball Oates' in Lion (1969-70).

IPC planned a comic strip character called Captain Britain which was to be drawn by Kerr during the early 1970s. Marvel later produced a similar character but the idea seemed to be dropped by IPC long before this.

In 1970 he drew the first ever 'Adam Eterno' strip in Thunder, as well as 'Peter the Cat' in Score 'n' Roar and 'Billy's Boots' in Scorcher. Other work from the 1970s was 'Crowther in Trouble' in Look-In, 'Phil the Fluter' in Lion and 'Orphan Alone' in June, as well as the 'Clarks Commandos' advertising strip. His final comics work was for D.C. Thomson's nursery comics Twinkle and Little Star.
