AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a huge illustration board drawn by comics legend Don Lawrence, illustrator of Trigan Empire, Storm, Maroc the Mighty, Karl the Viking and of course; Olac the Gladiator.

This page was first published in the comic 'Tiger & Hurricane' on 18th June 1966, as can be seen by the earliest date stamp in the pictures, for an episode of Olac the Gladiator.

In this episode Olac is in London (Londinium) searching for his brother who has been taken as a slave by the Legion. Londinium is ruled by a vicious tyrant called Sergius, who commands the legion. Olac and his friend Dextrius are fleeing in a chariot escaping danger... but walking into yet more danger!

After publication in the UK, these boards were re-lettered with Dutch word balloons to be published in the Netherlands as Don Lawrence had gained great fame as an illustrator and his works were republished.

The board which measures nearly 60cm in height is packed full of characters oozing realism, and the layout, background details and inking techniques all point to this being the work of a true master.
