Comic Artwork by John McLusky

I had the pleasure to visit Graham McLusky, the son of artist John McLusky together with Jason from SpyVibe. Graham told us about his father’s work and it was great fun seeing the original artwork. 

One fact was particularly interesting: John McLusky was a true perfectionist and he improved on his work even after it was published. There are several panels where John replaced the original artwork with new elements as shown here. They are from "Moonraker"



Check out Graham’s website where he sells the original artwork and a limited edition of “the face”.

From Russia With Love Tribute

Concept tribute artwork for "From Russia With Love". I always thought that the helicopter scene would make an interesting action piece. This is the first stage concept. Needs some tweaking.
