Nigel Parkinson
Born in Liverpool he began to create The Beano comics in 1980. Over the following twenty years he worked for many British publishers such as Fleetly drawing thunderbirds, scouse mouse, stingray and others. His work for the Dandy was in 1982. He also created Minnie the Minx that was introduced in issue 596 on Decemnber the 19th 1953. She was the third longest running Beano character behind Dennis the Menace and Roger the Dodger.
His most famous characters were Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx and Roger the Dodger. The comics were about several troublesome characters always causing trouble and hassle for others but also play pranks on each other and cause a "menace"for everyone. In my opinion I find Parkinson's work vert creative and fun as the names are very catchy and exciting. He did this so the younger generation wanted to continue reading and enjoy the comics more. His main colours were reds, blacks, yellows and blues. He chose these as the colours are explosive and bold which excites the viewer to read on and want to find out more.

Born: November 26th 1922
Died: February 12th 2000 (aged 77)
Nationality: American
Area: Cartoonist
Notable work: Peanuts 1950-2000
Charles monroe Schulz, nicknamed "Sparky" was an american cartoonist and was most famous for the Peanuts comics. Which featured characters names Woodstock, Snoopy, Charlie brown and others. The clean, minimalist drawings and the sarcastic humour of a household pet was what made this comic so famous and popular. Peanuts began on October the 2nd 1950, and was a very fun and happy comic strip. It attracted the younger generation as the story lines were about a group of friends always on an adventure however the character charlie Brown is very shy and lacks in confidence so most stories are about his overcoming his fears and trying something new every day. The comics sadly ended when Charles died. The colours were bright and amusing to the public as he used solid colours for a bolder effect. After researching into these artists, I am going to use the same kind of techniques when creating my own comic strips.
