Geoff Campion

Arthur Geoffrey Campion (19 November 1916 – 18 December 1997) was a British comics artist who drew adventure strips for Amalgamated Press/IPC.

He started out as a tax inspector. As a staff officer in the British Indian Army in World War II he began drawing cartoons for the forces' magazine, Jambo. Returning to England, he responded to an ad from the Amalgamated Press looking for artists in 1948. He was hired by editor Leonard Matthews to draw humour strips like Professor Bloop in Knock-Out, and filled in on a variety of strips for AP artist Hugh McNeill, including a Thunderbolt Jaxon comic for publication in Australia in 1949.

Matthews then recruited him to draw westerns for Cowboy Comics Library — when Campion protested he couldn't draw horses, Matthews replied, "Bloody well learn then!" The Eagle, Fighter from the Sky, Sergeant Without Stripes and Action Force.

In 1988, he drew large tableau boards for the National Trust, illustrating the history of The Needles old Battery on the Isle of Wight, which remain on display there.
