Jack Bradbury

Born 27 December 1914, Seattle; died 15 May 2004.

John Morin Bradbury was an American animator and comic book artist. Bradbury began working for Disney at age 20 and was responsible for key scenes in films like Pinocchio, Fantasia and Bambi. After working briefly for Friz Freleng at Warner Bros., he began working for Western Publishing in 1947, illustrating Little Golden Books, other children's books, and comic books for the Dell Comics and Gold Key Comics imprints along with the Disney Studio Program. Reportedly, Walt Disney told Western that they didn't need his approval for any of Bradbury's work. Also, Bob Clampett specifically requested Bradbury to illustrate the comic book adaptation of his show Time for Beany.
