There's a little bit of John Stokes in the inking there to my eye?

Good spot. Stokes was often uncredited in his 60s and 70s IPC work so who knows?

Here are two more Walduck pages that may give more Ridgway vibes, and also demonstrate some of the repeated cruelty the plucky heroine has to endure.

Thanks, Rich.

And here is Matthew's Desmond Walduck grail page

It's a return to the 1970s for the book club as Matthew Ellis introduces me to Tammy and discovers the secrets of the War Orphan farm. Expect multiple escapes and recaptures, lots of worrying head trauma, and the terrors of Ma Thatcher the child snatcher!

Here are two grail page cover images from Martin Barker's book chosen by John in episode 236. The Hookjaw cover never made it to the newstands?

Second time! Maybe there is something about this image that the image content review does not like
