I was very interested in the Ian Gray Link, Peter.....Ian took me on as a comic artist in the mid-80s. I thought he was much older , in his 50s when I met him [he must have been 46] due to his RAF handlebar moustache!

He was a real character, and very interesting to find out so much info on him.

You would have loved this very exuberant character, Peter!


cheers, SPY.

Yes I would love to meet artists and editors..writers for DC Thomson.
