	Telegraph \| Sport \| Wells driven on by anger
		Wells, paying a fleeting visit to Scotland from his home in Guildford to promote next weekend's Norwich Union meeting at Glasgow's Kelvin Hall, has no sympathy for Chambers.
		In my mind, I had no hope whatsoever of doing well but as I crossed the line he was two one-hundredths of a second behind - about eight inches - and I'd won the race.
		What happened next was that the 30-year-old Wells struck gold again in the 100m and 200m at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, a remarkable medal haul for an athlete who turned to sprinting relatively late after starting out as a long-jumper.

	Reviews of GRAPHIC CLASSICS
		Although this volume does give a glimpse of Wells’ non-SF work, it concentrates on the SF, as is appropriate, for those are the works at which he excelled and whose cultural impact is unequalled by his now obscure (and lesser) writings.
		The caricatures of Welles and his crew are accurate, but the drawing lacks subtlety and is devoid of any sort of interesting or evocative rendering effects.
		This story is well known, but the illustrator's work and interpretation made certain that even knowing the story well, I never skimmed or skipped over a panel or missed a syllable.
