From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Whitaker (1955-2008) was a British artist best known as the colourist on the comic V For Vendetta (originally published in black and white in Warrior, with colour added for the American reprint and continuation). He was also the author of The Encyclopedia of Cartooning Techniques.^[1]

Whitaker had been an active member of the British Amateur Press Association until it was disbanded in 2004. Following his death, ex-member Tony Keen announced he would organise a one-off memorial mailing, as he had for fellow BAPAn Andy Roberts.^[2][3]
