Sold recently by ace ebayer phil-comics the "Who's who of Boys' Writers and Illustrators, 1964" contains a wealth of information relating to contributors to titles such as Boys' Friend Library, Boys' Own Paper, Detective Weekly, Sexton Blake Library, Schoolboys' Own Library, Union Jack and many others. Was this a one-off publication I wonder or a regular publication?

Colin Curly mini-comics - a tie-in with Buster and Whizzer and Chips. Not seen these before. If you can help with better/missing images I'd be grateful.

Here's something that's a mystery to me...the original art for a Mandy picture library...except that I don't think it was ever used. A trial piece for an artist? A never published cover? Ideas welcomed!
