Ian Kennedy (born September 22, 1932, Dundee, Scotland) is a UK artist who worked initially for D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd, then later for Amalgamated Press ==Biography== Educated at the Clepington Primary School and then at Morgan Academy, both in Dundee, Kennedy was employed after leaving school by D. C. Thomson & Co. He was taken on as a trainee illustrator in their Art Department in 1949. He recalls that his first published work was inking the black squares in the weekly ''Sunday Post'' crossword. In 1953 having become married, Kennedy managed to get work in Amalgamated Press's ''Knockout'' via a local agent. In 1955 he began working for D. C. Thomson again, this time as a freelance artist. During the 1950s Kennedy mainly illustrated war comics such as ''Thriller Picture Library'' and ''Air Ace'' and his work appeared in a range of comics including ''Hotspur'', ''Buster'', and ''Wizard''. From the 1970s onward, Kennedy began to specialise in science fiction comics, regularly producing work for IPC's ''2000AD'' and ''Star Lord''. He also worked for ''Battle Picture Weekly'', ''Buddy'', Blake's 7, Eagle (Dan Dare), ''M.A.S.K.'', ''Victor Summer Special'', ''Wildcat'' and D. C. Thomson's pocket books (including ''Commando''). Kennedy has also over the years produced many covers for different comics and annuals, working mainly in acrylic paint. In the late 1980s and 1990s Kennedy began creating the covers for the annual RAF Leuchars Air Show's programmes. He went into semi-retirement in 1997. As of 2012, he continues to draw covers and features for ''Commando''. A definitive career-spanning interview with Kennedy appears in the Spring 2009 edition (Vol.11, No.1) of the "International Journal of Comic Art" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ian Kennedy (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
