We have just learned that Harry Lindfield, who drew the 'Mark Question' strip in EAGLE, which ran from 1957 - 58 and was partly reprinted as 'Mark Mystery' in 1968, has sadly died at the age of ninety one. Harry also contributed to EAGLE's companion papers Girl and Swift, drawing the popular 'Belle of the Ballet' strip for Girl. He later illustrated 'Star Trek' for Joe 90 and then TV 21 weeklies, 'The Monkees' for Lady Penelope weekly and 'Doctor Who' for Countdown and TV Action weeklies. He was highly regarded by readers and other artists. Lew Stringer described him as "A quality artist who always produced top class work," and David Roach said "It takes real skill to draw figures as naturalistically as this and he must surely be one of our finest comic artists." By popular demand, his 'Star Trek' work has recently been published again in a collection. We send our condolences to Harry's family and friends.
