About Martin Attridge

  • I have lived with my wife in Harpenden, Hertfordshire for the past 40 years.
  • Following a career spent mainly in commercial training roles, I looked for other subjects in retirement to occupy my time outside the house.
  • I decided to research and develop a range of British Comic Artists short talks and they have been well received.
  • I am regularly praised for my lack of formality and inclusion of audience members, inviting questions at all times.
  • I aim to make all my sessions fun and informative and bring with me examples of each artist's work to enrich the session
  • I provide a short handout to participants as a takeaway from each of my talks.
