The first one is Haddie which featured in the Hotspur as a reprint and was originally in the Hornet. Haddie is a play on the nickname for haddock and as Harold Hadleyis a fisherman, it works fairly well. The artist is Giralt.

The final story is another D C Thomson's story with Joe Greer, who is The Fiery Man At Number 6. This was printed in the Victor but I can't swear if it was originally printed as a picture story in The Wizard or The Hornet. Phoenix will probably be along in a bit to tell you the original printing of this as a text story.

As I gave Nikos the relevant information about Joe Greer on August 7th, Col, I can't quite see the point of telling him all over again. As we say in Lancashire, ''we don't boil our cabbages twice.''

Thanks so much for the useful info provided !!!

Thanks so far, anyway !!! The problem for me is that I don't know who the artist is
