Subsequently Richard has sent me several scans from various fanzines which have articles on this award. Although not directly related to Bellamy, except in name, I felt this pieces of history might interest a few people.
WHO WON THE FB AWARD?
Eagle Times #22:1 (Spring 2009)
James Slattery of Dragon's Dream for 'Most outstanding contribution to strip illustration' says Alan Vince in his interesting article just published in this quarter's ET. The magazine celebrates its 21st birthday this year and long may it continue. Alan's memories of 1970s/80s comic conventions, when Embleton, Hampson, Lewis et al were still with us are really interesting. Who is James Slattery? He worked on the reprints from the Eagle, including Bellamy's never since reprinted "High Command" which had the brillaint Churchill and Montgomery strips in full colour
Comics International #127 (Christmas 1992) - Alberto Breccia - interesting choice as he's not really appreciated much in the English language
Comic World 12 February 1993 - same announcement in a different form
Comics International #139 (February 1994) - Jack Kirby, whom I think you will all know!
Comics International #153 (March 1995) - Alex Toth, again you should know him!
Comics International #178 (February 1997) - Julius Schwartz, and if you're as old as me he needs no introduction either.
