Back in 2007 I was fortunate enough to spend a day with the artist Bill Mevin. Before I left his house he invited me into his office and said, “Find a piece of artwork you like and you can take it.” Slightly overwhelmed by this act of generosity, I started looking through his collection. I’ve always been fond of the Daily Mirror strip The Perishers – the Mirror was my family’s newspaper when I was growing up – and Bill had plenty of examples to choose from.
