Still going strong, artist Ian Kennedy has worked in comic books for more than 70 years. From his early days as an apprentice at DC Thomson in his native Dundee to his life-long love of aircraft, from more than 1,600 covers for the classic war comic Commando to fighting amongst the stars in Dan Dare, the story of Ian’s remarkable career across the golden age of comics and into the 21st Century is a compelling and fascinating one. The Thrill-Cast chats to the veteran artist about his art, his influences, and his thoughts on three quarters of a century of working in comics.
