VAMPIRE! #1 (1975) (VF) - ART BY GERALD CARR

Gerald Carr was born in Bendigo Victoria and studied art at the Bendigo Institute of Technology. He worked in Sydney for Walter Grainger Publications lettering translations for Australian Disney comics, before moving to Melbourne in 1967 to work in advertising agency and printing. Material developed for his first limited-distribution self-published comic in 1974 lager became Vampire! (1975), responding to the black and white horror boom.

In 2016 he won The Jim Russell Award for significant contribution to Australian cartooning from the Australian Cartoonists' Association. Carr was a pioneer of Australian comics, reflecting the changes and challenges since the 1970s.
