Arthur Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 - 7 July 1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction. Anthony Williams, The Comic Stripper, and his happy band of helpers have been creating cutting-edge cartoon, comics, and comic-book illustration for two decades. This includes drawing such icons as Spider-man, Superman, Batman, and The X-men. The Comic Stripper also creates artwork for a huge range of licensed characters including Ronald McDonald, Ben 10, and Scooby Doo. The work of the Comic Stripper has been featured in many national and international advertising and marketing campaigns, as well as illustrations for children's books and concept illustration and storyboards for both live action and animation.
