Ronald Sydney Embleton (6 October 1930 – 13 February 1988) was a British painter and illustrator who gained fame as a comics artist, his work much admired by fans and editors alike. Following his sudden death aged only 57, his obituary in The Times described him as 'responsible for some of the finest full-colour adventure series in modern British comics ... a grand master of his art' David Ashford and Norman Wright, writing in Book and Magazine Collector (March 2002) note that 'his work for such diverse periodicals as Express Weekly, TV Century 21, Princess, Boys' World and Look and Learn have earned him the respect of every practitioner in the field and the gratitude of all of us who admire the art of the comic strip.' In the 1950s and 1960s Embleton also pursued a career as an oil painter and he exhibited his works widely in Britain, Germany, Australia, Canada and the USA. He was a member of the London Sketch Club and the National Society of Painters, Sculptors and Printmakers, and in 1960 was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
