Yesterday’s Papers

"Yesterday's Papers" is an extensive blog, which showcases the rich history of illustration in periodicals, newspapers, posters, and other printed materials. The site contains numerous well-researched articles on a variety of subjects, many of which have little information readily available.

John Adcock created "Yesterday's Papers." The cartoonist, illustrator, storyteller, born in Nelson, B.C. in May 1950, has contributed to Chronicle, Weirdom, and Visions fanzines. John illustrated Ronald and the Dragon by Lawrie Peters in 1975
