After Sydney visited the Cartoon arts festival in Kendal last October, he told me he was struck by the modern style of comic book illustration and how it differed so much from  that realistic and filmic style which obtained during his own working life. The new style , heavily influenced by Japanese Manga art and also by computer game art is of a completely different genre. Intrigued as he was, and as a light-hearted experiment , Sydney asked Rachel Tubb, an artist/illustrator and web designer to render one of the old JH panels in this contemporary style. We present the resulting illustration below. Rachel herself describes the style as “ Geometric 50’s cartoon meets Japanese manga with jazzy bubblegum undertones”.  Skipper Prossitt
