This is just a guess, but not an entirely uneducated one: I think that two-page spread you liked might be by Jim Crocker, who was a gag cartoonist and comic strip artist in the UK - I know his work from British weeklies in the 1970s. The lettering and a few of the profiles (particularly the monster on the top right, with the gun) are clues, as is the "crock of gold" near the bottom; he was fond of puns on his name, and used to sign his work in later years with a Walt Simonson-like "crockerile" made out of the letters of his name. Could be wrong (I know his work from 25 years after this), but I feel it's him, deep down in my cartooning bones.
ReplyDeleteSorry, "crockerile" should read "crockerdile". Letters in the shape of a crocodile, that is.
