Ron Embleton original comic art

Ronald Sydney Embleton was born in London in 1930 and studied art from painter David Bomberg. He joined a commercial art studio and started drawing his first comics, mostly adventure comics such as 'The Black Lion', 'Big Flame; Black Hawk' and 'Big Indian', which he signed simply "Ron". At the end of the 1940s, his comics career was interrupted by army service in Malaya, and when Embleton returned in 1950, the British comics scene had changed towards more "American-style" comics. Ron adapted, teaming up with Terence Patrick and James Bleach to produce the 'Gallant' series.
