2000AD artist Cam Kennedy‘s eyesight is fading and means, sadly, it is unlikely we’ll see many more new comics from him, so it is important to treasure whatever art from him we can. So I was pleased to have my attention drawn to the Cam Kennedy sketchbook being sold by Atomik Strip, a Belgian comic shop.
To buy it you, apparently, will need to contact Tony Lariviere, over on the preview we’ve embedded. He says it should cost around €15 + P&P.
The founder of downthetubes, which he established in 1998. John works as a comics and magazine editor, writer, and on promotional work for the Lakes International Comic Art Festival. He is currently editor of Star Trek Explorer, published by Titan – his third tour of duty on the title originally titled Star Trek Magazine.
Working in British comics publishing since the 1980s, his credits include editor of titles such as Doctor Who Magazine, Babylon 5 Magazine, and more. He also edited the comics anthology STRIP Magazine and edited several audio comics for ROK Comics. He has also edited several comic collections, including volumes of “Charley’s War” and “Dan Dare”.
He’s the writer of “Pilgrim: Secrets and Lies” for B7 Comics; “Crucible”, a creator-owned project with 2000AD artist Smuzz; and “Death Duty” and “Skow Dogs” with Dave Hailwood.
