Story board and comic artist, Martin Asbury was called by Peter Ellenshaw to help him to create the matte paintings for Superman IV (1987)
He started drawing comics in the UK in the early 70s, including a stint on Flash Gordon. In the 1970s and 80s he was well-known for his film and TV tie-ins, drawing many such strips, including “Kung Fu”, “Battlestar Galactica” and “The Six Million Dollar Man”, for Look-in from 1974 to 1981, and “Doctor Who” for TV Comic in 1975. In 1976 he took over from Frank Bellamy on the Daily Mirror‘s science fiction strip Garth, initially as both writer and artist, later drawing other writer’s scripts until the strip ended in 1997.
