Thanks friend, Yeah, just love it. Hoping to source the issue as done with my first Hugh Morren page uploaded. Surprising how difficult it was? It literally took me a whole year before I finally tracked down the comic.  :)

Great page. Love the composition. Well done!  :)

Thanks for the comment friend. Yeah, I love the film too. Big fan of horror compendiums me, especially Amicus.  So lucky to own the art. 😎

Excellent page. Wish I owned it. Bruce Campbell is the Dirty Harry of horror. Evil Dead one of my most favourite 80s horror films. Recently bought my very first Evil Dead page direct from the John Bolton Studios. Liliana & John Bolton.are so friendly and generous,  They even sent me in the post issues #1 to #4 of the Evil Dead comic that were given to him by Dark Horse Comics on completion of the art, and he even signed them too.  :)

Loving the page. In the process myself of buying four Evil Dead pages from the John Bolton Studios. :)

With some pages. Less means more. Superb!   :)

Now that page has everything. It's like a Doug Maclure 'The Land that Time forgot/ Sam Raimi  Army of Darkness' mash-up.   :)

What a briliant page. So iconic.  Big fan of the series too.  Man, I'd love to own some Thunderbirds art in the future. Maybe one day.  Now thinking about it, the only peice of memoribiila I do have in my collection is a signed Thunderbirds book by Gerry Anderson.  :)

Very cool. Loving the dark moody vibe the art gives. Well done!  :)

You're welcome friend. Wish I had your talent. And yeah, totally agree. Love the series including the two movies. But if there were to be any remake of the show today hope that they would keep faithful to the original character & series format rather than mess around as done with the reboot done a few years back. I think either Tommy Lee Jones or Brian Cranston would be great at playing Karl Kolchack. Both are exceptional straight & comedy actors  And set it in the 1970s rather than today. 🙂

I think this version was the best one out of the two drafted. Sundown was more fitting and equally terrifying, especially if you were a local of Salem's Lot and worked nights.  :)

As ususal I'm late to the party. Oh to have a Time Machine. Would have loved to have had the chance to buy that.  :)

Both are excellent paintings, but I agree that the darker one was more fitting for the novel front cover. It has a sense of forboading & dred. Wish I had that in my collection. Maybe one day when I win the lottery or accidentlally rob a bank lol. ;)

One word. Wow! Wish I owned that. :)

Liking what I'm seeing. Superb page. Huge fan of Darren McGavin & Kolchak 'The Night Stalker' here. Very cool!   :)

Thanks again Adam for the comment left. As first mentioned in my initial reply to your comment before I updated my message today to included further information, and for the benefit of new viewers to this page, was told by John's wife & business manger Liliana that the finished peice was sold to a very lucky collector in America. And since my first reply to you, now own eight John Bolton Monster Club pages on board that first appeared first in the very rare 1980 Monster Club promo magazine (uploaded on my page for all to see) that was produced to promote the film at the Cannes film festival to would-be investors, which later appeared  in the classic 1983 Hammer Halls of Horror magazine which info you are no doubt already familiar with.

Also since then, have also sourced since the actual Monster Genealogy Chart preliminary art done for the 1981 Monster Club film.  And I even have John Bolton's personally owned Monster Club film script given to him by the makers of the movie that was gifted to me, including his multi-signed slipcase book limited to 26 copies in the world called: 'Gaslight, Ghosts and Ghouls. A Centenary Celebration R. Chetwynd-Hayes'  that was given to him by the publishers which is now out of print. 

Excellent painting. Well done! 😎

What a great peice of Kolchak cover art. It captured the essence of the series so well. So evocative. 

 Very cool. That would grace anyones collection. :) 

Cheers friend. Yeah, know what you mean with some of the characters similarity with Mad Magazine. Not wholly surprising though as Harry North did the art in both US & UK magazines. Think first in 1976 upto 2000, if my memory serves me.. But it took me ages to source the pages, and as difficult was the  magazines. Hours trolling eBay and Look-in fan websites.  Problem encountered was some pages don't have numbers or dates, so I had to do a bit of detective work which paid off. Nice to see them in print too. 😎

Superb Kolchak 'The Night Stalker' drawing. Love it. Big fan here. If only I were a member of this forum in 2013. Damn!!  Whoever purchased it was a lucky man or woman.  :) 

Yeah, and the era too of burnt orange & lime pastels , lol. Funny, I only found this page yesterday, so uploaded it last night. Think its part of a full story (1 of 4) that includes Jack entering the depot talent show playing guitar, and what can be described as, looking like Richard Simmons. 😂

I agree. It's a cartoon that's inafensive, loads of fun, that all the family can enjoy. And the artist, whoever he or she was, captured the chaotic energy of the TV series. Superb! 😎

The Allo Allo show was a BBC comedy series first shown in 1983 that followed residents of a small provincial  French town occupied by a group of clueless Nazis. It's situation comedy on steroids.

The main character is Rene, owner of a cafe, whose stuck between running his establishment and foiling SS plots and winning the war. He's also a babe magnet and spends most time trying & failing to resist the amourous advances of the local women including one light-on-his feet German officer called Gruber who fancies him and wants to take him for a ride in his little tank. Funny as hell. If in the States might catch it on BBC America,  can buy the series on DVD, or see some episodes on YouTube. 

Yes, I can confirm. All are hand coloured. Not sure what was used though? If it was a mixture of inks & water colours? Looks like both to me close up. Nicely done whatever medium used.

Anyway, I bought them because I'm a fan of the show. And to be honest never realised a comic strip was done or read the Fast Forward Magazine in its day.?. My next project is to find the magazines the art features in. Going to be difficult task and detective work is needed as some pages don't have any information stating what  year & issue number to aid me in my quest.. Oh, well? Wish me luck. I'm going need it.

Three's Company. Ah, yes. Great series.  Starref the late lamented John Ritter. Funny, watching that series in the early eighties , it never dawned on me that it was a US version of its British counterpart. As a kid I was'nt that forensic. I'd laugh if my butt was on fire. I know it was a highly susessful series too.  😎

What I like about this page is the visual comedy. Sure, the text can be hilarious when reading, but if you can make your eyes smile too is a thing to marvel at 

Thanks friend. Yeah, brings back good memories of days long gone.

When I  sourced this page, and may I add it's huge, about 24x 16, honestly didn't realise there was art done for the classic BBC comedy series Allo Allo out there? See, the only memorabilia I had of Allo Allo at the time was series-used scripts, some theater posters etc... So when I saw it for sale, jumped at the chance to buy it, although ironically weeks later sourced another eight pages , all smaller, on thick artist paper. Shall take picks and upload them soon for all to see. 🙂

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, know what you mean. Just love the crispness of the art too. Whenever I buy any art, try to also source the comic or mag it appeared in also. Not an easy task though. Got to have the patience of a saint. 🙂

Funny you should mention that. When I obtained these was informed that they  were from the magazine's recently discovered archive, and had likely been in storage since the 70s.

 agree. The humour is brilliant. You can see why Harry North  went onto do the Mad Magazine. Love the colours used too. Loads of purples in some giving the melancholy feeling. 

What I gather is. Harry North was the only artist to do this strip, which is surprising really, as often magazines/comics utilised numerous artists, some even finishing a page started by another on occasions. But he did every page for the 'On The Buses' cartoon strip. Think I counted over 50 strips, could be wrong, that he did between 1971 & 1974. Always on the look out for more. 🙂

The pages vary in size too. Some are massive. The larger pages are drawn on 2ft art sheets, with some smaller strips done on art boards & paper. I did start framing them but soon realised the cost was skyrocketing, so bought myself an art folder, sent off to the States for acid-free poster sleeves, and found these perfect to protect all, especially the larger ones 

Thanks friend. Yeah, love the series and the three films. Never get bored watching them. I've been sourcing these pages over the past couple of years. Even got all the Look-in mags that featured the art. Better still, actually obtained two original series-used TV camera scripts. Think one is from the episode, The Football Match, the other from the story, For What The Stars Foretell. 🙂

Yeah, in those days they liked to overcompletcate things, lol. 😀 

Cheers David. Great to hear you actually visted John Bolton's studio. Yeah, I was so lucky to buy the eight that I own, especially the fourteen preliminary/concept  art for the Monster Club Genealogy Chart. I was even offered the chance to buy his cover & sepia art, but it was not possible sadly.  What nice people they were.  John signed my art when asked and John & Liliana kindly provided COA for all the pages too. Both even gifted me signed books including John's actual script he was given by makers of the film. It was a pleasure dealing them over the weeks and months. Genuinely nice people.

Also, sorry to hear you sold your Army of Darkness art. Bet it was superb too. Love to own some of his Evil Dead & Alien art. Maybe one day. 🙂

To be honest. I thought that very same thing too. I was amazed they were still available to buy when I enquired. Lucky, is an understatement .

Love it. A rib tickler, lol. 😀

The skeleton stripper taking her skin off is so iconic. Love this page.

Funny you should mention that. Both Hammer Hall of Horror and the Scream comic was my two favourite horror mags as a child. Art in both were spooktacular!  😎

Thanks. I was over the moon, or should I say, full moon to get it. ☺️

I adore that story in the film. The Shadmock. It's so tragic. He's got money and a mansion, but the thing he wants most in the world, doesn't want him. Bolton captures the scene brilliantly where we Angela ( Barbara Kellerman) struggling with her conscience after seeing all that money in the safe. 

Thanks friend.  Yeah, the moral of the story. Be wary down allyways. Don't talk to strangers with big teeth, lol.  I in particular love the bottom right of the page where we see Erasmus (Vincent Price) & R-Chetwyn (John Caradine) boogying with the other monsters. Classic!  :) 

I agree.  His ability to capture both the innocence of Luna and the ravenous of the Ghouls is amazing. 

Cheers for the comment friend. Yeah, l love that image of the Wolfman too. John Bolton caught the essence of the character. It looks even better up close.  The detail is superb!   :)

Thanks for reply. Yes, I agree. I love how he puts individual personalities into the Monsters drawn, if that makes any sense? At present got six John Bolton pages on board with another two pending. And when they are finally secured will upload all.  🙂

Loving your Kolchak art. Big Night Stalker fan here too. :)

Another great page of John Bolton Monster Club art. Again, kudos!  Coincidentally, I recenty obtained the 1983 Hammer Halls of Horror Mag #26  that featured The Monster Club strip.  Great to see  yours & my  art featured.  Also, better still sourced last year one of Dez Skinn's signed & limited edition 1/100 Monster Club comics released via Facebook in 2018. And recently from a bookshop in the  United States obtained the very rare Monster magazine that was released in 1980 for the Cannes Film featival which only had print run of 1000 copies. Happy is an understatement. :D

Loving the page. Well done! Huge fan of the classic film & artist. Slowly & surely obtaining art from the great man himself, John Bolton. Hoping soon to add a further pages to my collection.  :)

Yeah, the photo of Mr Bolton in deep thought is very evocative. It takes a vivid imagination to create such wonderful monsters, :) 

Hey, no worries friend. Yeah, brings back so many fond memories of Christmases past when I awoke to find numerous annuals bought by my parents, Whizzer and Chips included, at the foot of my bed among my presents. Equally thrilling, is to own the very art that featured on or in those annuals that brought so much joy as a child. ☺️

Excellent page. Well done!  Big Kolchak ,The Night Stalker, fan here too. 

Thank friend for the kind words. Yeah, the page is amazing. And even after all these years, the colours are still as vibrant as ever. I just love the subject matter. Makes me smile whenever I see it. 🙂

Hey, loving the page. Wish I owned it.  Got an inner page of a Whizzer & Chips annual myself featured, but sadly don't know who the artist is? Anyway, well done!  :)
