Comicsmagazines.com and comics artist Ken Barr have jointly pubished a limited edition art print, “Para Sarg” painted by Ken.
The release is the first of a planned series of limited edition prints based on great British regiments and landmark battles and campaigns. The next planned print in this series will be based on the Long Range Desert Group.
Ken Barr is an internationally renowned graphic artist with over 50 years’ experience, who has worked for publishers such as D C Thomson, Marvel Comics, DC, Warren, Random House, and many others. He is probably best known in the UK for his classic images on the covers of many of the early Commando comics, including issue No. 1.
Ken is also highly regarded for his accurate portrayal of military aircraft scenes, many of which graced the covers of early Commando comics.
Future print releases will see work featuring Ken Barr military aircraft paintings: a series of Battle of Britain prints is planned for 2009.
“Para Sarg” is a high quality A3 size print on 350 gram art paper, strictly limited to 275 prints, with each edition individually numbered and signed by Ken Barr.
• The print retails for £29.99 plus post and packing direct from Comicsmagazines.com.
