In the early part of his career John Bolton drew at least one Tarzan story for a Britisch Annual. I can not remember if he did any more and in which annual they where published. Who can help me ? This sketch was done in the Netherlands at De Stripdagen in Breda in 1998. Mr Bolton claimed that it was done by his evil twin because he moved on over the years. Artwise that is.About the author
John Bolton
(b. 1951, UK)
John Bolton started his career as a comic artist with 'House of Hammer/Halls of Horror' in the late seventies. He worked for Marvel UK, and in 1981, he created a story for the American publication 'Bizarre Adventures', which resulted in more work overseas, including 'Marada the She Wolf' for the magazine Epic Illustrated. Bolton applied his "full painted" graphic style to several titles during the eighties, such as 'Pathways to Fantasy', 'Alien Worlds', 'Twisted Tales', 'Alien Encounters', 'Tales of Terror' and 'Tapping the Vein'. In the nineties, he created 'Orbit', 'Clive Barker's The Yattering' and 'Jack'.
He is also a popular cover artist for series such as 'The Vampire Lestate', 'Aliens', 'Army of Darkness' (Dark Horse) and 'Man-Bat'. 'Gifts of the Night' was published by DC Comics in 1999. He made illustrations for various card and roleplaying games like 'Magic the Gathering' and 'Vampire'.
Bolton also drew the storyboards for films such as 'American Werewolf in London'. He likes making comic sculptures out of clay, and listens to Techno while working. Bolton explains, "I tried classical music for a while, but I kept falling asleep."
