11.Feb.2013 Flashback: Arken Sword no.21, 1987

seth and dean stylinI own one of 500 copies of this 80s UK zine, a cherished item. Bought it new back in the day.

It featured large B&W reproductions of some of my favorite artists’ inks. Picked it up to study their lines.

Growing up in Toronto I also took note of this issue as it contained a section about home town talent.

“Mister X” feature with Chris Kelly art 1pg, Dean Motter & Seth interview with photo from UKCAC 1986 3pg, Dave McKean “Mister X” three-panel strip (“I asked Dave for a Mr X illo. The illo turned into a 3-page strip, which he has sent to Vortex on spec”) 1/2pg,

cover1, 2, 3, 4.
