Charlie Adlard

Born 4/8/66, and did the usual school stuff, usual O and A levels blah, blah... All of this done in Shrewsbury - born and bred, y'see... Then went to study film and video at Maidstone Art College - emerged after 3 years with a BA and went to the bright lights of London to become a rock star! I found out that my BA was a pretty useless one where technical things were concerned so I found it hard to get a job within that industry - BUT - I was also playing drums in a band and that seemed the better path to follow... Anyway - 8 months later I found myself back in Shrewsbury and looking for what to do next - the band thing just didn't work out...
Then I suddenly realised why don't I do comics again? Consequentially I spent the next 2 years struggling to get into that industry - and eventually succeeded! Thankyou to all concerned at Fleetway for giving me the chance...
