I was surfing the Net looking for Tom Kerr materials for a listing I'm putting together and spotted Jenni Scott's reference to Kerr illustrating the "Dancing to Danger" story in Sandie (16 Jun 1973-29 Sep 1973)
This episode is the only one I've seen and it said it was in Sandie 2 June 1973
Does anyone have any other episodes that might be Kerr or is Jenni completely wrong (no offence!)?
Thanks for any help

You were unlucky with this first episode, which was drawn by Robert MacGillivray. Tom Kerr drew the rest of the serial.
Happy to provide a sample scan of a page by Kerr, if it would be of use.

I'm afraid I don't have the final strip, but I see that Jenni Scott does have that issue, so the 29 September date seems to be confirmed. Here's the episode from 28 July 1973, which has a nice juicy villain in Tom Kerr's inimitable style.

Thank you SO much Goof. The reason I hesitated to use Jenni's date was that her indexing appeared TO ME to be inconsistent in places - Hey! I'm the same with Bellamy and I've been on it for centuries - well since the last century!!
The image you uploaded is incredible - that face on the second row is so unlike him, but I've seen this sort thing over and over with Kerr... he changes things and his style too over the years. His Witch Winkle is becoming my favourite! Thanks again.
