I am interested in comics primarily, and joined in order to add detail to the British comics section (particularly in the area of girls' comics).
These are some things I've vaguely got in my sights.
British girls comics
Artists
- John Armstrong (comics) - started and well added-to by John Freeman, but it's not got a huge number of references and it does have a references warning. I've added as much as I can to it for now, though.
- Mario Capaldi - to do, have got some initial links / references including Comiclopedia entry here [1], Comic Book DB here [2], news item on his death here [3], comics adaptation of The Moon Stallion here [4]
- Philip Townsend - to do, need to find links / refs
- Phil Gascoine - a bit listy at present but well-started. I want to add some stuff about the SSI and an image of his art.
- Keith Robson (comics) - to do, need to find links / refs
- Rodrigo Rodriguez Comos - to do, need to find links / refs (Comiclopedia entry here [5])
- Trini Tinturé - to do, need to find links / refs (Comiclopedia entry here [6], her own website here [7])
- Guy Peeters - to do, need to find links / refs - he has no Comiclopedia entry, interestingly enough...
Writers
- Amend the Pat Mills article to include information on his girls comics work.
- Various writers of whom little is known - Benita Brown, Pat Davidson, Malcolm Shaw...
One problem is that it's not always easy to know much about the artist's biographical details as so few of them have been interviewed or in some cases even identified, even if they are prolific. Another problem in the case of the writers is that it's even harder to know who wrote anything, unless there is a specific credit box (Tammy only, pretty much, in girls' comics).
