Derek Eyles was born in North Finchley, London. His brother, Geoffrey, was also an artist. Both brothers were illustrators, but Derek achieved the greater recognition – being the Amalgamated Press’ number one horse artist (all new artists were given his work to help them learn to “do horses properly”) . He worked for Knockout from issue number one, having previously been working on Wild West Weekly, producing some of that paper’s superb full-colour cover paintings as well as many of the interior illustrations.
As well as contributing to a myriad of comics and annuals, Derek Eyles was a prolific book illustrator working for many publishers, painting covers and illustrations for a wide range of subjects.
