The creators of PACIFIC BANDITS
– ERIC PORTER (Wombat Flat) often produced funny animal and other humour strips, but also some adventure stories; very little is known about him. (https:www.lambiek.net/artists/p/porter_eric.htm)
– MOIRA BERTRAM (Pacific Bandits) studied portrait painting, but took to producing comics in her teens; her signature character is Jo and her Magic Cape. Her experiments combining page composition with storytelling makes her work distinctive. She is sometimes called the Queen of Australian Comics.( https:www.lambiek.net/artists/b/bertram_moira.htm)
– W.W. (Terror Island) is a mystery, and it isn’t known who hides behind those initials
– TERRY POWIS (The Missing General) is best known for writing and drawing war comics. He was born Frederick Powis in England, emigrated to Australia and worked producing movie posters (as Fred Powis) and comics (as Terry Powis). His movie poster experience lead to him crafting striking comic book covers. (https:www.lambiek.net/artists/p/powis_terry.htm)
