101 Brockbank Cartoons

Russell Brockbank (1913-1979) was best known for his motoring, motor racing and aviation cartoons. His work was published in numerous magazines and journals, including Motor, Punch and Lilliput, and collections of his work appeared in several books, such as The Penguin Brockbank (1963), Brockbank's Grand Prix (1973) and The Best of Brockbank (1975).    His association with Punch lasted over 30 years, and he was Art Editor from 1949 to 1960. He provided a weekly cartoon to Motor for over 20 years, often featuring his character 'Major Upset'.   Brockbank's cartoons were characterized by a high degree of draftsmanship and he often went to great lengths to ensure that the cars and aircraft in his cartoons were as true-to-life as possible. They are also deliciously funny, so much so that many rate his as one of the top cartoonists from any genre.   This book, using material provided by his daughter, would feature 100 of his best cartoons in an inexpensive, landscape-format paperback.
