About the series
Alfred Bestall was the defining creative force behind this gentle, long-running British comic strip, which appeared in the Daily Express from 1936 to 1994. Starring a good-natured little bear in a yellow sweater and check trousers, the series offered whimsical, pastoral adventures in a world of talking animals and kind-hearted mischief. Bestall’s detailed, idyllic artwork and the later contributions of Alex Cubie helped make Rupert a beloved institution of British childhood, celebrated for its timeless charm and quiet, reassuring tone. Spanning 59 issues, it remains a classic of newspaper comic art.
