Ogri – Original and Best

From 1972 to 2013, Ogri was one of the best things in motorcycling magazine publishing. Over that time, artist Paul Sample completed hundreds of the detailed and perspicacious cartoon strips and, around four years ago, embarked on a volume of the complete works of Ogri.

Complete? Well, he thought it was until Paul discovered a portfolio of forgotten strips hidden away in his spare room! Now he has published all 102 of those rediscovered originals, including the last two Paul ever produced and which never made it into the pages of a magazine. Ogri – Original and Best sees these strips beautifully reproduced, all the better to see all those wonderful and sharply observed background details that were part of the joy of Ogri. It’s available through teamogri.bigcartel.com or on Amazon for £15.
