John Richardson took over from Charles Morgan on "Eva's Evil Eye" (Tammy) from 10 August 1974 and completed the serial 7 September 1974.

Thanks, Tammyfan. As we've started a new page, I may as well post a new copy of the list:

I have scanned "Eva's Evil Eye", the Tammy story that had some episodes drawn by John Richardson. I have also been doing scans of Leopardman episodes drawn by John Richardson. Anyone interested?

I've updated the last list (18/7/21 above) to include a bit more detail on his work for June.

Re: John Richardson’s artwork in girls’ comics
I've just come across some copies of Funday Times the comic that came with the Sunday Times from 1989. There is a John Richardson strip called S.T.A.R.S. St. Andrews Road School. I'm not sure if everything in the Funday Times was reprint or if this was exclusive to that publication. It says adapted from the book by Hunter Davies. It also features a strip called Time and Ms. Jones by Marise Morland which is female lead.

Thanks for this, Steve. It seems that the STARS series of books that Hunter Davies wrote were also published around 1989, so it look as if the Funday Times strip was a contemporary spin-off rather than a reprint. Not the only time that Hunter Davies publicised his books in the Sunday Times.

Re: John Richardson’s artwork in girls’ comics
It was a two page strip in full colour. I have issues 1-18 and it's in all of them. The next issue I have is #26 and it's not in that one so obviously only ran for a few more issues after 18.
