John Harrold (British b. 1947) |

|
John Harrold took over as illustrator of Rupert
the Bear after a low spell in the 1970's when a series of inappropriate
artists drew Rupert rather indifferently, the highly-skilled work of
John Harrold then appeared. He has now established himself firmly as
the worthy successor of Alfred Bestall.
