Bernard Long (born 1926)
Bernard Long was an accomplished British book illustrator and comic book artist. Long was a contributor to Jack & Jill, drawing the light-hearted adventures of Fliptail the Otter in around 1970, and to the Jack & Jill and Teddy Bear annuals. He was an extraordinarily talented and reliable contributor to many Amalgamated Press/ Fleetway/ IPC titles and the Young Telegraph during the 1990s.

He was an exceptionally good nature artist and it seems very likely he contributed to various educational magazines as well as nursery comics. It is thought that he contributed to Look and Learn in the late 1960s and back page artwork for Fun-To-Do in later years, for which information I should thank David Slinn, who recalls that Long was "quietly efficient, very reliable and, as a result, somewhat taken for granted."
