Need help identifying a comic
Re: Need help identifying a comic
Alright, let's get it on with another batch comics:
--------
--------
First off, couple o'comics I thought I'd cracked, but it turns out I was to optimistic.
"Spy Smasher Smith Agent 005" (Translation of the Swedish title)
Could've sworn I seen this in english somewhere, under "Agent Smith" or something, but I'll be darn if I can find anything anywhere on the net.
I have been told this could be a comic in Lion, "Spy Smasher Smith", but I haven't been able to locate any images

--------
"The S.O.S. Patrol" (Translation of the Swedish title)
I'd got this pegged as "S.O.S. Squad" years ago. But when I return to double check it now, the only thing I can find are this: http://bustercomic.co.uk/sos.html... or this http://petergraysukcomicartists.blogspo ... squad.html
So, I'm thinking... Not so accurate...
It's about the Arrow family who is apparantly whizzards at making robotic thingies. Also featuring is their little mascot Eggy, who's a tiny robot.
--------
--------
"Scary Legionnaires" (Translation of the Swedish title)

Re: Need help identifying a comic
Got me another one, this time without any picture (although a scan can always be added later if it should be necesary).
"The Buddies" (translation from Swedish title)
About Knocker White and his buddy "Jinx" Jenkins. They are "the two toughest foremen at the gigantic company Anglo-Global."
It looks to me like the art's Ian Kennedy again.
[Edited]Added a scan per request[/Edited]

What the heck, I throw in yet another one...

Re: Need help identifying a comic
Sir L, can you do a scan of the buddies? I feel that I should know it, but I just can't place it at the moment.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!

Re: Need help identifying a comic
The Trouble-Seekers began in issue 399 of Valiant, cover dated 23rd May 1970. It didn't survive the merger with Smash! so issue 432 (3rd April 1971) is probably the final issue it appeared in.

Thanks ever so much Robbie!
Re: Need help identifying a comic
'S.O.S. Patrullen' is almost certainly 'The Robot Builders' from Tiger & Hurricane, but I'll have to check to be sure. The extract from this and the 'Scary Legionnaires' pages all look like the work of Carlos Cruz.

Re: Need help identifying a comic
And thank you Sir-L. That's the first time I have seen that work by Ian Kennedy. It's unusual in the fact that IK rarely ever drew "chunky" characters. Most of his were either rugged or muscular, but rarely a less than physically fit specimen.Sir-L wrote:Thanks ever so much Robbie!

Looks like The Fighting Three. That appeared in Smash! in 1970 but may have been a reprint from another Fleetway comic.philcom55 wrote:'S.O.S.

Re: Need help identifying a comic
I think you've nailed it Lou - especially as the Swedish version uses the same names (i.e. McGinty, Hambone and Weasel). For the record the series originally appeared as 'Mighty McGinty' in Buster.

Yeah, that did throwed me a little, but then again Kennedys style is pretty unique so there could be no mistake. And I'm glad my scans are appreciated, I was afraid you guys where fed up with me and my scans by now.colcool007 wrote:And thank you Sir-L. That's the first time I have seen that work by Ian Kennedy.

You guys ROCK!
Re: Need help identifying a comic
Quite right Phil. It was "The Robot Builders", I found a scan on this site: http://r.leone.free.fr/Titres/ron_turner.htmphilcom55 wrote:'S.O.S. Patrullen' is almost certainly 'The Robot Builders' from Tiger & Hurricane, but I'll have to check to be sure. [...]
Thanks again!
Re: Need help identifying a comic
Ok, I'm back. This time I've got a question about all those presentors: Solomon Knight, Simon Gaunt and Daniel Dark.
Is this episode below any of those? My money is on Daniel Dark, which has been published in the same Comic Book most recent of those features (they all have been published there). But I don't know anything about that feature. Is there such a feature as "Daniel Dark" or is it just in Sweden it has that name?
"Ancient magic" (translation of the Swedish title)
Copy: D.C. Thomson & co Ltd
3 page story about a girl who comes home to find her mom sick and there's an tenant living there. There's also a mean cat who is terrorising the village. The cat is found to be the tenant, who really is a witch. The witch where expelled from the village by one of their ancestors, using witchcraft, hundred years earlier.

Re: Need help identifying a comic
I think the character was called Damien (or Damian) Darke here.Sir-L wrote:Is there such a feature as "Daniel Dark" or is it just in Sweden it has that name?

I thank you for that Phoenix!Phoenix wrote: I think the character was called Damien (or Damian) Darke here.
Snoopin' around I found that it most certainly is an Damian Darke episode by the title of "Old Magic", first published in Debbie & Spellbound issue no 437 dated 27th June 1981.
