D. C. Eyles
Derek Charles Eyles (1902–1974)〔David Ashford and Norman Wright, (Derek Eyles Art ), The Book Palace, accessed 27 December 2011〕 was a British illustrator and comics artist. Born in North Finchley, London, he was the son of Charles Eyles, a painter and illustrator who had worked with the Impressionists in France, and had a brother, Geoffrey Eyles, an illustrator who appears to have died young.〔Norman Wright and David Ashford, ''Masters of Fun and Thrills: The British Comic Artists Vol 1'', Norman Wright (pub.), 2008, pp. 56-66〕
Eyles' colour plates and black and white illustrations began appearing in boys' annuals in the 1920s and 30s.〔Alan Clark, ''Dictionary of British Comic Artists, Writers and Editors'', The British Library, 1998, p. 55-57〕 He painted covers and drew interior illustrations for story papers like ''Wild West Weekly''.〔 He also illustrated novels, including an edition of Jack London's ''White Fang'',〔 and children's books,〔Alan Horne, ''The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators'', Antique Collectors' Club, 1994, p. 183〕 including an edition of Charles and Mary Lamb's ''Tales from Shakespeare'', and in the 1930s and 40s, painted a series of covers for Collins' western novels.〔 Two fictitious portraits in a fake memoir are signed "D. C. Eyles 41".〔Gray, E., ''Surgeon's Mate'', Robert Hale, 1942, fronticepiece & p. 81〕
After the Second World War he was hired by Amalgamated Press editor Leonard Matthews to draw adventure strips for the publisher's comics,〔 beginning with "The Phantom Sheriff" in ''The Knockout'' in 1947,〔 a character whose prose adventures he had previously illustrated in ''Wild West Weekly''.〔 Other titles he contributed to included ''The Comet'', ''Thriller Picture Library'', ''Cowboy Comics Library'',〔 ''Sun'', ''Radio Fun'', ''Adventures'',〔Denis Gifford, ''Encyclopedia of Comic Characters'', Longman, 1987, p. 241〕 and ''Swift''.〔(Derek C. Eyles gallery ), Yesterday's Papers, 24 February 2009〕 He excelled at drawing horses,〔(D. C. Eyles at Lambiek Comiclopedia )〕 which made him particularly suitable for western characters, including Wild Bill Hickok,〔 Kit Carson〔 and Buffalo Bill,〔 as well other historical characters like Hereward the Wake, Robin Hood〔 and Dick Turpin,〔 and new artists were given samples of his work as examples of how to "do horses properly".〔
In the 1960s he worked mainly in the nursery end of the comics market, on titles like ''Treasure'' and ''TV Toyland'', and for girls' titles like ''Tina'' and ''Princess Tina''. By the 1970s westerns and other equestrian genres had fallen out of fashion, and Eyles struggled to get work. Suffering from diabetes, he died in December 1974 after an unsuccessful operation.〔
