He Help to remold the character to what he is today with his art work being reprinted several times and two stories collected in to collected issues (Time Killer and Tomb of Terror).
He then went on to become one of the top artist for Fleetway for there boys adventures comics drawing Loner a space gunslinger for the Wildcat Comic but my two favorite stories of which he did the art work for was Dan Dare and M.A.S.K.
Dan Dare has long been one of my favorite characters and I remember being made up when they changed him from the dated 1980's superhero back to the slick Pilot of the Future that we all loved.
But that's enough about Dan for now I will be posting some scans at a later date.
M.A.S.K was a short lived UK comic which was mainly to advertise the toy line of the same name it ran for 80 weekly issues till it was merged with the Eagle in the late 1980's.
I did have a full set of these comics along time ago but sadly they are now gone not sure where they went and that is still under investigation.
David Pugh drew some amazing art for some stories in this comic my favorite was called kamikaze about Mat Tracker and the M.A.S.K (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) team battling V.E.N.O.M (Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem) in Japan with Venom drafting in some giant cyborg sumo wrestlers to help out.
sadly I can only find a few bad scans on the internet from this story and I no longer have a copy.
The story bellow is called Double Cross part 2 the art work is still brilliant and I love the large panel on the last page featuring Sly Rax and Floyd Malloy have a look and see what you think.
David Pugh no longer does any artwork for UK comics which I think is a bit of a shame but he does however fill his time with a much greater challenge he sends most of his time involved in the Busfare charity set up to help migrant workers and the families in India and Africa.
On this site you will also fine some of his original artwork that he is looking to sell to raise funds for the Busfare charity.
