Pure Images

Greg Theakston's Pure Images (1990–1992, Pure Imagination) was a five-issue showcase for his distinctive blend of illustration and photography, blending pin-up style drawings with photographic elements. Published at the dawn of the 1990s, the series served as a personal gallery for Theakston's experimental visual storytelling, combining his signature linework with stark, posed photographs. A niche but notable entry in the self-published small-press scene, it captured a unique moment when comic creators were pushing the boundaries of the medium's visual language.
