The Followers of Rupert 1990 - 1999. Black & White illustrations. A collection of 31 issues of the Nutwood Newsletter, a newsletter sent out by 'The Followers of Rupert' to their fellow 'Followers', ranging from November 1990 to Autumn 1999. The fans of Rupert Bear, known as the Followers of Rupert, have published numerous books and specials issues which have, until now, only been available to Followers. Most Rupert stories from the Daily Express have later appeared in Rupert annuals but there are a number of stories that have appeared nowhere other than in the newspaper itself. The Followers draw on this bank of stories to produce for Members publications that contain these stories - a unique opportunity to access these otherwise inaccessible stories. In 1991 the Followers published the first of a series of reprints of Alfred Bestall stories that had not appeared anywhere other than the Daily Express. They were laid out as they would have been had they appeared in an annual, but in black and white, as in the newspaper. Later Nutwood Specials produced stories in full colour for the first time. Rupert Bear is an English children's comic strip character and franchise created by Herbert Tourtel and illustrated by his wife, the artist Mary Tourtel, first appearing in the Daily Express newspaper on 8 November 1920. Rupert's initial purpose was to win sales from the rival Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. In 1935, the stories were taken over by Alfred Bestall, who was previously an illustrator for Punch and other glossy magazines. Bestall proved to be successful in the field of children's literature and worked on Rupert stories and artwork into his nineties. Condition: Excellent. 12 pages. Size: 12" x 8" (300mm x 210mm).
