These are wonderful. She really was a top class illustrator.

Indeed, she was.

Thanks very much for this!!!
I'm especially interested in those samples during the "Daily Star" period of Yvonne's RotR story drawings.
Please take some photos for me.
All the best,

Does anybody knows whether this sample is during the era of Daily Star ?

Nikos (Greece)

This is a British football comic story, by Bert Vandeput. It was reprinted in Greece under the title "K Team" in "Blek" mag, during the late '70s.

It is a story about a crazy millionaire who's managed to build a secret football stadium in a valley, somewhere in England. His plan is to kidnap famous ...

"Man in Black" is "Striker from Nowhere" from Crunch. Issues 20 09/06/1979 to 34 08/09/1979.
"Goal-Goal-Goal" is "It's Goals that Count" from Hotspur 1008 10/02/1979 to 1019 28/04/1979.

Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You've been very helpfull :cheers:

Does anyone know the titles of the following two British comic series, re-published in Greece ?

The first one (artwork by Mike White) was titled (in Greek edition) as "Man in Black".

The second one was titled as "Goal-Goal-Goal" (artist: Juan Giralt)

Thanks in advance! :cheers:

Does anybody know what are the artists' names of:

"The Boxer that Nobody Knows"

"The Fiery Man at Number 6"

I beleive that the artist of "The Boxer Nobody Knows" was Juan Giralt.
If you want examples of Giralt's work, then you need to look at Haddie which was in the Hotspur (which we have only recently discussed), The Blitz Kid which was in The Hornet and Red Dagger and The Bootneck Boy in Battle ...

I beleive that the artist of "The Boxer Nobody Knows" was Juan Giralt.
Sorry Nikos, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. It doesn't look like Giralt to me.

Juan Giralt used to draw the persons' faces like having freckles on them. This is a sketching technique of him, that made me beleive that ...

"Giants Killer" was from Victor and titled "The Boxer Nobody Knows". It ran in issues 745 31/05/1975 to 750 05/07/1975. Unfortunately I don't have a name for the artist.

"Mister Roly-Poly" again from Victor, ran in issues 517 16/01/1971 to 526 20/03/1971. The artist, as has already been mentioned ...

Never mind Thanks anyway, you've helped me much, so far !!!

You normally give us an approximate translation from the Greek, Nikos. Could you please do so again, otherwise I at least will not be able to help you with these new requests. I need something recognisable to hover my thoughts over.

O.K. :D :) First one (boxer) is titled as "Giants' Killer". It's ...

That second one is pure Bert Vandeput with Mr Roly-Poly as a goalie with an appetite for a clean sheet and a decent profit as he was a baker by trader and a goalie by talent. It featured in the Victor and is a nice bit of gentle fun.

The boxing one is also a Victor story but I am chuffed if I can ...

Phoenix will probably be along in a bit to tell you the original printing of this as a text story. :lol: 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 ...
