Peter Jackson (artist)

Peter Charles Geoffrey Jackson (4 March 1922, in Brighton – 2 May 2003, in Northwood, London) was a British artist noted for his cartoon strip 'London is Stranger Than Fiction'.

He submitted some sketches to the newspaper unsolicited in 1949 and through a lucky coincidence the paper was looking for an artist to do a strip about London at that time.

He was hired and the strip become a success, giving rise to books of compilations of his work.

[2] He also authored the "Saul of Tarsus" cartoon, which appeared in the first issues of the Eagle comic and reflected Jackson's religious faith.

Jackson also became a notable collector of antiques and documents relating to the history of London.
