My name is Colin Wyatt and I have been a professional illustrator since 1957, when I joined an art department at The Amalgamated Press - later to become I.P.C. Magazines. I worked on young children’s comics such as Tiny Tots, Jack & Jill and Playhour for almost twenty years.
I began my Disney work in 1971, producing covers and posters for many Disney annuals, monthlies and weeklies published by I.P.C. In addition I illustrated most of the free gift inserts for Disney comics. In 1975 I joined the staff of Action Comic and went on to 2000 A.D. where I became Art Editor in 1978.
I left I.P.C. in 1980 to take up a full time freelance career. In 1985 I created a visual concept for The Poddington Peas, which later became an animated series shown regularly on BBC TV. Since then I have illustrated dozens of well known characters, from Noddy to Thomas the Tank Engine.
