Matt strips New Year 1988

Please don't worry, I've not got the year wrong, but whilst checking out some old material, I came across some of the following Matt strips which originally appeared in the 1980s in provincial newspapers, Bradford Telegraph and Argus, also The Manchester Evening News. They were next to an unfinished apple turnover, hmm, yummy!

Orko the Magician

This was certainly a blast from the past when I recently came across this cartoon strip of Orko the Magician. Back around 1986, I was involved in producing artwork for the UK publishers, London Editions Magazines, whereby I would work on such titles as He-Man, Masters Of The Universe, She-Ra, to mention but a small few. As well as drawing some of the main strips, I had the pleasure of equally producing these three panel strips. It was something I enjoyed as my background was also doing daily cartoon strips for newspapers. I'm now suddenly feeling old!
