He was.
After Jean Wyllys fled the country because of death threats, he assumed the vacant congress seat and kept a great work against the right wing government and with pro LGBT programs (coincidentally one of the same focus of Jean Wyllys).

Possibly not a celebrity, even though the art might be?

Probably UK only, but we all knew his face even if we didn’t know his name, because he was in so many TV programmes here over many years.

Too young! :cry:

I have several signed prints that I purchased in the early 90’s. My favorite of the lot is for B-52s and an anti-drink/driving poster featuring a very grim reaper.

Oh man, I grew up in that era of wrestling. We were always at Cobo Arena on Saturday nights every few weeks for the big matches. The early 70s through the early 80s was an awesome time for wrestling especially for a little kid.

I’ve seen all the greats including Billy Graham. Here he is with two other greats from that era, Harley Race and Bruno Sammartino.

I associated “Billy Graham” with an entirely other aesthetic.

All of the above is deeply strange to me, even if stadiums are involved with both Billys.
