Dean Rankine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dean Rankine is a popular and well-known Australian comics artist and illustrator. Rankine's comics work has appeared in many children's magazines - KidZone, Explore, Venue, Mania, Krash and Wacky But True (Australia), Kids Alive (United Kingdom), The War Cry (New Zealand), Priority (United States), Sorthvit (Norway) and TFL (South Africa), as well as Australian anthology comics, and he has illustrated books for Ashton Scholastic and Acorn Press, among others.
