According to information provided by Ray Moore in his authoritative book Topper Tales, Danger In The Hills was drawn by George Ramsbottom. The artist for both The Storms At Sea and The Stallions Of The Moon was H. R. Platt.

They are great..I'd think kids today would lap it up..as they are strong narratives..good cliff hangers..

Re: Topper adventure stories...
another artist I don't know...But anyway I like stories where the character is not believed...you are alway rooting for them to prove they are not lying..
Liked the outfit Mr X has on..
Re: Topper adventure stories...
Peter Planet artist is George Ramsbottom again Peter. BTW your mentioning Black Bob brings to mind the fact that in the mid 1960's when Jack Prout was indisposed George Ramsbottom drew the occasional Black Bob strip.
