The cover strip, Alfie the Air Tramp, is drawn by John Jukes, one of the many artists of the time encouraged to imitate the style of Roy Wilson to give the Amalgamated Press comics a certain look.
Here's a few strips from inside the issue...

| Art by Harry Banger? |

| Art by Arthur Martin I believe. |

| Art by Albert Pease? |
Wishing you all a safe time if you're out celebrating Bonfire Night over the weekend, and please show consideration for people's pets, - many of which are traumatised by the loud bangs.

Love Albert Peases work and the cover the flying tramp!! :)
Just been to Stoke Park firework show you do have to be a kid at heart to enjoy them...two adults left early saying its not like it was 20 years ago who was hooked on his mobile...glad they went early I enjoyed it...I never grew up in some ways! Keep the old comic posts coming...I love reading them
Off-topic, but looking at the cover strip, I can‘t help noticing that Brian Walker imitated the older masters like Roy Wilson and John Jukes in his early IPC work. The faces of many of his characters in Wizards Anonymous (Shiver & Shake) seem to be copied from those strips of the ‘30s.
Yes, Brian was definitely inspired by those old strips. There's a strong element of Roy Wilson!s style in Robert Nixon's work too.
