Don Lawrence

Donald Southam Lawrence (17 November 1928 – 29 December 2003) was a British comic book artist and author.

Lawrence is best known for his comic strips ''The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire'' in the British weeklies ''Ranger'' and ''Look and Learn'', and the ''Storm'' series, first published in the Dutch weekly ''Eppo'' (later relaunched as ''Sjors & Sjimmie'') and subsequently in album form. Famous for his realistic and detailed style, he was an inspiration for later UK comic-book artists such as Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons and Chris Weston (indeed, Weston was taught by Lawrence), and influenced Indonesian artist Apri Kusbiantoro.
