Arthur Ranson - TV Cult Heros
Great action adventure comic
strip art by Arthur Ranson featuring The A-Team. The Face is in trouble when
the plane he is a passenger in is struck by lightning. Fun with Mr. T and the
boys.

Ranson's skill in depicting likenesses is apparent from this fine clear example of his black and white line art.
Ranson finds interesting ways to depict the "action" in Sapphire & Steele which was a rather static series even when shown on TV relying on talking heads. His use of a variety of ciematic angles brings life and variety to this cult classic.
Biography
Ranson also produced a series of comic-strip biographies of well-known music stars and bands, including ABBA (1977), Elvis Presley (1981), The Beatles (1981-2), Haircut 100 (1983) and The Sex Pistols (1983).
Arthur has also contributed to Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and X-Men and TV-based strips such as Sapphire and Steel, Dangermouse, Worzel Gummidge, Michael Bentine's Potty Time and Duckula.
