"Hazell" from Target, 1978

Harry North started out as a bodger on Valiant before going freelance, getting work for Look-In. His first strip for them was a fill-in in 1971, and he went on to draw "On the Buses" (1972), "Doctor in Charge" (1974), "Doctor at Sea" (1974), "Doctor on the Go" (1975-76), "It's Madness" (1981-83), "Super Gran" (1985), "No. 73" (1986-87), "Gilbert the Alien" (1987) and "ALF" (1988). He also drew "The Michael Jackson Story" for Valentine (1973), "Hazell" for Target (1978), a storyline of the James Bond newspaper strip, "Grimcrack" (1981), in the Daily Star, written by Jim Lawrence, and "The Ascent of the Human League" (1985) for pop music magazine Smash Hits.

From 1976 he drew for Mad magazine (both the US and UK editions), for which he continued to draw into the 2000s. He also worked for Heavy Metal and the French magazines Pilote and Zona, and illustrated books. By 2004 he had moved to New York and was working for the ad agency Ogilvy & Mather. He is represented by the agency Way Art. He is clearly a major influence on Steve Parkhouse, both in drawing and lettering.
