Urgent call to owners of Mickey Mouse Weekly 1945-1951

Post by wigwam »

In my ongoing research on comic artist Basil Reynolds (1916-2001), I really could use the help of owners of Mickey Mouse Weekly.
From late 1945 to early 1956 Reynolds was Studio Manager of this comic. He drew and painted many covers, illustrations for text stories, strips and ‘specials’. And here is my appeal.
One of those special contributions, The Mickey Mouse Christmas Party, was published in the Christmas issue 27 December 1947. Reynolds drew the whole gang of regular Disney characters as well as his own Skit, Skat, and the Captain and some of his other characters. The photo of this merry gathering was supplied by Phil Shrimpton (phil-comics).
Now I wonder if Reynolds contributed festive drawings like The Mickey Mouse Christmas Party to the Christmas issues 1945, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951.
Who owns these volumes and is willing to take a look?

Thanks for your trouble.
