Mike White

Mike White was a British comic artist known principally for his work on various IPC/Fleetway titles. His first regular strip was Jackaroo Joe (about the adventures of a 'swagman' in the Australian outback) for Valiant in 1965, and he went on to draw (amongst others) The Team Terry Kept in a Box (for Lion), Cannonball Craig (for Score 'n' Roar) and Hell's Highway for Action, as well as work for DC Thomson (including stories in the long running Commando title). He also drew the infamous Kids Rule OK strip which led to the suspension of Action due to its violent content, as well as several strips for Roy of the Rovers, Wagner's Walk for Tornado and a sizeable body of work for 2000AD (for which he drew installments of Invasion, Ro-Busters, Mean Arena and Disaster 1990 as well as various 'Future Shocks' and stories starring Alan Moore's Abelard Snazz). He passed away in February 2012 after a long illness.
