Having read an article today about the erotic art of Oliver Frey, I immediately thought "I know that name".
Then I remembered as an under 11 year old reading a comic strip called "The Trigan Empire".
Does anyone remember it?

Yes indeedy - was in "Look & Learn" - it was all very homoerotic, so no surprise what he became famous for

It seems Frey was not the only artist though.

It took DL about two weeks to illustrate each episode, adding to the established tradition of British painted comics as opposed to the more common US ink/pencil offerings.
If the US had a tradition of painted comics in the 60s I must have missed it.
It's been reprinted in book form many times but there's so much of it that I doubt anyone has ever read it all the way through.
The blue-skinned villains were the Lokans (boo!):)
I rememeber reading somewhere that Asterix made his first appearance in Look and Learn where he was renamed Beric the Brave
Asterix has had lots of names over the years. He was called Cedric when I was a kid.
I remember it. I used to be a massive star wars fan, but after some bad school behaviour, they swapped my star wars weekly.... For look & learn... Imagine my surprise as I opened l&l and found pictures of anglo saxons instead of princess leia totting her gun....I was traumatised! The only thing worth reading in that damn rag was trigan empire... Hated l&l then and hate it now! Seriously - did you buy l&l for yourself? Or did do-goody family members buy it for you?! I cant imagine any child wanting that rag! Didnt you defect to marvel/dc or look-in?!:D
No, it was primarily drawn by the great Don Lawrence, who also drew 'Storm' for the European market as well as a lot of other stuff including strips in TV Century 21 and the long running erotic humour strip 'Carrie' in Mayfair magazine.
Not in The Trigan Empire, but Don Lawrence was known for his sexy fantasy females, including Ember in the European strip Storm. He was also the original artist of stripgirl Carrie in the men's magazine Mayfair.
