Jack Bradbury website

Animator and comic book artist Jack Bradbury passed away in 2004. Now his son Joel has launched a tribute website loaded with comic art and animation history. It’s a treasure trove of over 1300 pages of classic comics, odds and ends and a wealth biographical information, shedding new light on working as a freelance comic artist in the 1940s and 50s. I especially love the correspondence between Jack and various comic book editors, discussing the virtues of Hucky Duck, Pansy the Chimp and Angus McSnoot.

    What a gold mine! I’m just getting into these old comics, so this is all new to me, but I’m super excited about this site.

    Wonderful stuff - what a treasure trove! The Internet is fast becoming a virtual museum for great American cartoon art. Buried in obscure comic publications for more than half a century, it’s all become accessible again for the first time in decades. Who’da thunk it? Thanks Joel, for generously archiving your Dad’s work, and sharing his genius.

    His autobiographical telling of his hiring and time at Disney is fascinating.
