John WillieJohn WillieJohn Willie (John Alexander
Scott Coutts) was born in Singapore on December 9, 1902. Educated in England, he
published the bulk of his work in the United States. He died on August 5, 1962,
in Catel, Guernsey (Channel Isles, Great Britain).
Most
of Coutts’s art he published himself in his own magazine, “Bizarre”
(1946-1959). This ran for 26 issues, although Coutts published only the first 20
issues himself. Issues #21-#26 (1957-59) were not published by Coutts, but by
R.E.B., a friend to whom Coutts sold the magazine in 1956.
