In 1983 a comic was printed, a very small run, about a boy wizard 
with a scar over his head, he also wore black rimmed glasses. He had 
a faithful owl called Hedwig but she turned into a person and wasn't 
used to carry letters.

The comic was based around this wizard who went on adventures. I'm 
afraid I only read the first one and haven't been able find any more.

If you are Irish, the comic is avaible in Forbidden Planet in Dublin: 
they've still got a few copies left.

In the Art Life during the summer a whole article was written on 
this. Can't find it now but maybe when there website is finished they 
might put it up.

Overall is was balanced, saying how JK pulled different stories 
together,  bit like Homer, and made children read again. And who 
cares if she was inspired by a comic? Who knows maybe she's never even 
seen the comic.
