What follows is a list of artists known to have contributed to Eagle. The comic ran for 987 issues between 1950 and 1969 and with very few official records remaining it is almost inevitable that this list is incomplete. Further information about any of the creators listed below would be very welcome.

ReplyDeleteYou need to spell Raymond Sheppard correctly to get any further information on him.
SHEPPARD, Raymond 1913-1958
Born on 3 March 1913 in Muswell Hill, North London, Sheppard was educated at Christ's College, Finchley, and studied at the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts. He drew at the London Zoo and in the Natural History Museum, South Kensington; and, when he was twenty-one, became a free-lance artist, illustrating books on natural history, and other books with animals as the main subject. He taught for three years at the London School of Printing. During WW2 he was attached to the RAF Photographic Section. Elected FZS; SGA (1947); PS (1948); RI (1949). He died on 21 August 1958.
Taken from Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators. Alan Horne
He did lots of work in Girl (Black Beauty), Swift ("Animals and Their Young"; "British Birds and Their Nests" etc.) and the only one I know in eagle is "Famous Horse Stories (c.1954)"
I am in contact with Sheppard's daughter who is organising exhibitions in the next year of his works. I'll let you know more when we get more info.
Norman,
ReplyDeleteD'oh! I've corrected the spelling on the list. Also on my master file; and my Girl and Swift indexes. Hopefully that'll stop me making the same mistake again.
Ken,
Yes, Jack Kirby was indeed a contributor, but only "Tales of Asgard" reprints that ran in 1968 in the dying days of the paper.
Hi Steve,due to polite encouragement from Lew over at ComicsUK,I have put up a new yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/britishcomicsdatabase/
ReplyDeletewith the mission of assembling a database of British Comics artists and writers..a bit of a misnomer really considering most came from Europe or South America!Anyhoo,you are cordially invited,time permitting of course to lend your expertise to this project.May God help us all!!!!!!
Hi... I'm an editor over at the Grand Comicbook Database (www.comics.org). I indexed one issue of Eagle in full... I'm afraid there aren't any artists listed there that you don't already have here, but thought you might be interested in it anyways...
ReplyDeleteCheers! Peter
