"King was born in 1943, and studied at the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts (now London College of Printing) under Robin Fior, who describes King’s approach as ‘compare and contrast as a political stance’. As art editor of&nbsp;  The Sunday Times Magazine  &nbsp;from 1965-75, he collaborated with art director Michael Rand to create the new language of the supplement: features sporting dynamic picture cropping and processed graphic effects gave the magazine a cinematic feel. King forged important friendships with other&nbsp;  Sunday Times  &nbsp;contributors. With Francis Wyndham he compiled the first pictorial biography of Leon Trotsky (1972). King began supplying his own pictures to the&nbsp;  Sunday Times  , and an assignment with Muhammad Ali in 1974 resulted in the book&nbsp;  I am King  ." &nbsp;  Christopher Wilson,&nbsp;  First published in&nbsp;   Eye   &nbsp;no. 48 vol. 12, 2003&nbsp;
