Preparation for a Medieval Joust - C. L. Doughty

Preparation for a Medieval Joust, 1949, watercolour

1913-1985.

Cecil Langley Doughty was an illustrator who worked on a number of comics, such as Thriller Comic, Starflash, Challenger, Top Spot, and School Friend. His debonair style was ideal for the swashbuckling costume/action strip, as this vibrant joust scene testifies. From an early age Doughty admired the work of Charles Brock and Hugh Thomson, and their influence is evident in his work.
