Today, I finished drawing my last piece of work for The Dandy. It was a rather strange feeling, having the weight of history on my shoulders, as you'll see when the comic is published in a couple of weeks. Since the news of the closure was broken to me in July, I've had a lot of comments from friends, colleagues and The Famous, and I aim to share some of them with you here soon.
It's a privilege to be in the final issue but, as you say, very strange as well. The final issue of a comic we grew up with! (On a personal note, the first comic I had regularly, and which helped teach me to read.) I'm sure there'll be mixed emotions all round on December 4th.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the final issue but at the same time never want it to come. I can't believe that such a perfect comic could end like that.
