Eric Bradbury (1926-2001) was a British comic artist. He was described by 2000 AD as one of their "early, unsung heroes."[1]
Biography
Bradbury was a student of Beckenham art school from 1936 and was an pilot during the Second World War.
He began drawing comics with 'Our Ernie' for Knockout in 1949. Later he worked on adventure strips and westerns such as 'Luck Logan' and Buffalo Bill for Comet. Gradually developing an individual style somewhat akin to South American artists such as Francisco Solano Lopez, Bradbury worked on strips like The House of Dolmann' for Valiant, Maxwell Hawke for Buster, and Doomlord for Eagle.
On 2000 AD, Bradbury carved his own niche as the artist on some of the most memorable 'Time Twisters', and numerous 'Future Shocks'. He also drew Invasion!, Judge Dredd, Mean Arena, and Rogue Trooper. He was also the regular artist on stories starring the fictional alien editor of the comic, Tharg the Mighty.
Bradbury's style was a mixture of the familiar and the macabre. He had a talent for depicting an atmosphere of domesticity or 'kitchen sink' drama. Amongst this normality alien intervention such as Doomlord seemed all the more unsettling.
