Thanks a lot for this. A very early book, BJD (Before John Dixon) but published in 1950, not 1850! Not a total expert but I always thought Dixon took over from De Vine, and not the other way around. Happy to be proved wrong, if I'm wrong. They also both worked on Biggles. Their version was also published in the UK and Paw Broon can tell you more about that. Also, the landscape format, used in the early issues was not exclusive to Australia. It was common in Europe, particularly in Italy and Spain. Paw can also tell you more about that.We have examples in the non-English section.

Thanks Downunder Dan. Love the Crimson Comet. Hope you have more!

Thank you very much. Excellent. The format though is very unusual. I'd take a guess that the staples are at the top of the cover. We have another example of this on site, Jet Fury perhaps -I need to check. So I describe this format as the Australian calendar format where the comic looks like an upright, portrait format, but to read it, you turn it on its side. Like Panther, I thought deVine followed Dixon but I can't check till later this afternoon.

From what I've read, Dixon did the first 7 Crimson Comets, after which de Vine took over until Dixon returned in the mid-50s issues (according to John Ryan in Panel to Panel). This scan was on the State Library of Victoria website, and they credit de Vine as the creator.

I realise the art is more important to many of our members, however, format is an intriguing part of comics. We have other examples of this odd format on site, incl. other issues of Crimson Comet. As far as I can see the format seems to have been used only in Australia, but I don't know about N.Z. I don't think Crimson comet was ever reprinted in the UK but it and other Aus/NZ comics did appear in our newsagents, coming over as ballast.

Great to see another Aussie Comic. I love these old ones.
