Frank Bellamy

Frank Bellamy (21 May 1917 – 5 July 1976) was a British comics artist, best known for his work on the ''Eagle'' comic, for which he illustrated ''Heros the Spartan'' and ''Fraser of Africa''. He reworked its flagship ''Dan Dare'' strip.

He also drew ''Thunderbirds'' in a dramatic two-page format for the weekly comic ''TV Century 21'' and drew the newspaper strip ''Garth'' for the ''Daily Mirror'' from 1971 until his death. His work was innovative in its graphic effects and sophisticated use of colour, and in the dynamic manner in which it broke out of the then-traditional grid system. Provided by Wikipedia
