The Penguin Book of Comics
by George Perry & Alan Aldridge
Revised Edition 1971
Looks at the history of comic books and comic strips in the United States and Great Britain, and discusses notable cartoonists and titles
George Perry, author of the text in The Penguin Book of Comics, was born in London and had a wartime childhood, some of it swopping Knockouts and Film Funs on bombsites.. His education continued at Tiffin School, Kingston, and Trinity College, Cambridge. At Cambridge he edited Varsity and commissioned his contemporary, the late Timothy Birdsall ('timothy"), to draw a strip cartoon serial for it, called Rick Runcorn. After Cambridge he worked in advertising in Canada and London. In 1963 he joined the Sunday Times and is now Assistant Editor of the Sunday Times Magazine. He has written The Films of Alfred Hitchcock, was a co-author of A Competitive Cinema and editor of The Book of the Great Western. In 1970 he directed Cinema City at the Round House, London. He is married and lives at Dulwich.
Alan Aldridge is one of the most original and creative graphic designers working in Britain today. Born in Aylesbury, educated at Romford Technical College, which he left at 15, he floated through many jobs, including insurance clerk, repertory actor, and barrow boy, before starting to draw in 1963 at the age of 20. Since then his unique style of illustration has appeared in countless magazines, newspapers, record sleeves, posters, decorations. He was responsible for the two Beatles Illustrated Lyrics books and the children's book, Ann in the Moon. He has won the Design and Art Direction Silver Medal and The Scotsman International Design Award twice. He lives at Highgate with his wife, six year-old son and three-year-old daughter and collects old comics and seaside amusement arcade machines.
