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.

Yep, it’s great to see this appearing, a real treat for anyone who appreciates the work of Cam Kennedy (and frankly, who doesn’t?). Hopefully the first of many such sketchbooks – Cam has a lot of material and Tony seems keen to do more, so fingers crossed!
