“They’re not my usual format and so are not generally for sale on my website. Normally they just languish on my shelves and drawers but now you have a chance to buy them.”

A lifelong comics fan, John Patrick Reynolds’s handmade silkscreen prints have been featured on the BBC, in the Observer and elsewhere.

The Rover was my first love – an adventure comic which was all-text,” says John. “Every week it held stirring stories about everything from cyclists in the Tour de France to soldiers in the Second World War. The paper it was printed on was uncoated newsprint – I loved the way it felt in my hands. It was also well designed – I loved the way it looked, and loved the pictures.

“Now I’m a screenprinter,” he adds, his licensed prints including Beano characters and many more. I discovered about 15 years ago that comics were a perfect fit for screenprinting. The medium is good at producing flat vivid colour and bold outline – just right for the stylised nature of comics.”
