Restoring the past…

Allan Harvey is a Welsh artist, graphic designer and writer with a passion for comics. He has created comics for a variety of publishers over the years, including Factor Fiction Press, POS and the Comics Creators Guild. He also writes articles for Back Issue magazine, published by Twomorrows, looking at aspects of comics history. Allan has been heavily involved in the restoration of numerous classic comics, utilizing his extensive digital photographic and graphics expertise. The A Distant Soil restoration, which saw him digitally remastering several hundred pages of Colleen Doran artwork to pristine glory for a new graphic novel edition for Image Comics, led to further such projects from a variety of publishers. He did the lettering and much of the production work, including the classic Marvel cover restorations, for the New York Times best-selling Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir, Stan Lee’s graphic novel autobiography. Other work includes restoring many Sam Glanzman comics for It’s Alive Press; and the Eisner Award-nominated Atlas at War! - reprinting 1950s Marvel war comics - for Dead Reckoning.
