The original artwork pages for the 1970s comic strip Iron Outlaw were found in a Victorian op-shop in February last year. I had meant to post this page on my Web-page, but for some reason it seems I forgot to do so (I just found this post half-finished this morning). Where were these artworks headed? How long would it have been before they were tossed and thrown away? Want to know how many pages? Something I should talk about... if I weren't so intent on getting the next Inkspot ready.... and 'From SUNBEAMS' ready for the US Distributor and preparing a Kickstarter campaign too.... If I am really honest about these days, knowing I am going to be hitting 62 years of age this year, I find I am increasingly finding difficulty in finding the time to do the things I love or the things I'd love to do. Even though I have cut down my hours to four days a week, work seems to get in the way of everything -- yet, without work, I can't afford to do those things I love (or love to do)! What's the answer? I don't know … and I won't have time to contemplate it today … I have to work tonight …!!

I have just found your site today! Similar age to yourself (bit older) and used to do a bit of illustration in the good old days.. Loved the Iron Outlaw strip then but can't find any decent references to it online (until this!). Can't believe these pages were in an op shop!! Do you still have them? Would love to see a decent scan if possible. Hope work isn't a problem for you at the moment. Weird times.
