About the author

John Quirk's biography would have been a lot shorter if the German bomb that landed outside the air raid shelter in which he was born, had gone off. He started drawing soon after and left UK at 25 for East Africa, then New York and finally Australia where he lives with his wife and enjoys drawing, writing and messing about in boats.
