Amongst the titles he illustrated were ''Shiver and Shake'', ''Whizzer and Chips'', ''Cor!!'' and ''Monster Fun'' where he drew one of his most celebrated characters (Creature Teacher ). Towards the end of the Seventies Williams moved to IPC rivals, D.C. Thomson where he worked on all the famous titles including of course ''The Beano'' & ''The Dandy''. An extremely versatile & talented cartoonist he was able to copy the styles of many of the regular artists & produce strips for publications like the ''Beano Annual'' & the fledgling mini comic books that were emerging at the time. He was heavily involved in the launch of ''Nutty'' where he drew the Peter Pest & Stevie Starr strips. In a long & varied career he also produced cartoon strips for the British Girl Guide Magazine, many of the UK local & tabloid newspapers & football programmes. He was also often commissioned to produce cartoons for advertising purposes. 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「Thomas Williams (cartoonist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
