SciFi Pulse‘s Ian M. Cullen interviews artist Lee Sullivan about his career in comics, most notably working for Doctor Who Magazine: “I was already an illustrator – four years at Further Education College on a vocational wildlife & technical illustration course; 5 years at British Aerospace as a graphic designer. When Doctor Who Weekly (as it was then) appeared, I thought – that’s the job for me! I was a big fan of Doctor Who on TV and comics since they started. I laboured mightily to produce two or three pages of samples but I didn’t have any real idea of showing them to anyone. They took me ages to do – scenes I transcribed from the first Who novel, Doctor Who and The Daleks. Then I met David Lloyd who was producing backup strips (Abslom Daak was one of them) at the time at a Who convention and found out the timescales and rate of pay. It seemed impossible for me that I could ever work fast enough to earn a living.” (link via Down The Tubes)
