C. H. Chapman
Charles Henry Chapman (1879–1972), who signed his work as C. H. Chapman, was a British illustrator and cartoonist best known for his work in boys' story papers such as ''The Magnet'' where the character Billy Bunter appeared. He later illustrated Bunter cartoon strips and several Bunter books published in the 1950s and 1960s.
Chapman was born in Thetford, Norfolk, on 1 April 1879, and attended Kendrick School in Reading, Berkshire, where he created and illustrated a school magazine, ''The Kendrick Comet''. He studied art at the University of Reading, after which he was apprenticed to an architect. He had his first drawing published in the story paper ''The Captain'' in 1900, and over the next ten years drew for story papers and comics including ''Marvel'', ''Pluck'', the ''Boy's Friend'', ''Boy's Herald'', ''Boy's Leader'', ''Illustrated Chips'', ''Comic Cuts'', ''Jester'', ''Big Budget'', and ''Ally Sloper's Half Holiday''.〔Alan Clark, ''Dictionary of British Comic Artists, Writers and Editors'', The British Library, 1998, pp. 37-38〕
From 1911 to 1940 he illustrated Charles Hamilton's Greyfriars School stories, featuring Billy Bunter, for ''The Magnet'', also drawing the magazine's covers until 1926.〔 When the comic ''Knockout'' launched in 1938 with a Billy Bunter comic strip, Chapman drew the early instalments before being replaced by Frank Minnitt.〔Denis Gifford, ''Encyclopedia of Comic Characters'', Longman, 1987, p. 26〕〔(C. H. Chapman on Lambiek Comiclopedia )〕 In the 1950s and '60s he illustrated Cassell's ''Billy Bunter's Own'' annuals.〔〔(C. H.

He died in 1972, survived by two daughters, Dorothy and Marjorie.〔John C. Chapman, (C. H. Chapman - Reflections from a grandson ), ''Book and Magazine Collector'', 1 December 2011〕
