KEITH CHATTO

Dann Lennard, publisher/editor of the long-running zine Betty Paginated, has just published a great little one-shot zine devoted to Australian comic book artist Keith Chatto (1924 - 1992), whose work ran the gamut from The Phantom, El Lobo and The Lone Wolf to illustrating record LP jackets, pulp paperbacks and covers for the Skippy comic book and more raunchy work in the 1970s with his Flame comic strip (which appeared in the adult tabloid of the same name).

Keith Chatto: From Bunny Allen to the Phantom is 22 A4 pages (some in colour) filled with reprints and articles. A nice introduction and tribute to an Australian artist who is still very much underappreciated.
