Ian Kennedy (22 September 1932 – 5 February 2022[1][2]) was a British artist who worked initially for D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd, then later for Amalgamated Press.
From the 1970s onward, Kennedy began to extend his range to science fiction comics, regularly producing work for IPC's 2000AD and Star Lord.
He also worked for Battle Picture Weekly, Buddy, Blake's 7, Eagle (Dan Dare), M.A.S.K., Victor Summer Special, Wildcat and D. C. Thomson's pocket books (including Commando).
In the late 1980s and 1990s Kennedy began creating the covers for the annual RAF Leuchars Air Show's programmes.
A definitive career-spanning interview with Kennedy appears in the Spring 2009 edition (Vol.11, No.1) of the "International Journal of Comic Art".
