Gerry Embleton (born 1941)[1] is a British artist, born in London. He is best known as an illustrator of military and historic subjects. He has illustrated more than 40 titles for the military publisher Osprey.[2] He is the younger brother of illustrator Ron Embleton.[3]
Embleton was the first artist to work on the new Dan Dare in the revived Eagle, published by IPC Magazines in 1982. This Dan Dare was the original's eponymous great-great-grandson, taking on the mantle of space explorer. Set 200 years after the original story, the first story-arc featured the return of Dan Dare's earliest nemesis, The Mekon.
In 1983, Embleton moved to Switzerland,[2] and later began working in children's educational illustrations and then advertising.
In 1998, he founded a company called Time Machine that works with museums all over the world, specializing in vivid displays with 3D figurines.[2]
