BUSTER ARTIST PASSES AWAY...

I've just learned from STEVE HOLLAND's blog that

cartoonist ANGEL NADAL QUIRCH has passed away.

For a detailed account of the man and his work, click this

link.  In the meantime, here's a post from a couple of

years ago featuring some of Nadal's original artwork.

******

BUSTER had several good artists in his time, but possibly the

best remembered (to those of a certain age) is ANGEL NADAL,

who drew the strip from 1962 to '74.  This particular page is from

an issue dated October 29th, but unfortunately I don't know what

year, as it's not noted on the back and I don't have the published

comic in my collection to refer to.

If anyone happens to know the year of publication, or can sup-

ply a scan of the printed strip, feel free to say so in the comments

section.  Luckily, when I get around to showing my other Buster

artwork (a two-pager), I'll be able to show you the actual printed

pages.  No, don't thank me - it's all part of the 'job'!

UPDATE:  Thanks to PHILIP CRAWLEY for

alerting me to where I could find an image of the published

page, which I've 'borrowed' to show here.  Be sure to visit

and learn all about the history of BUSTER.
