Magic. Love these pommy comics. many thanks. Oh, and more please.

This looks like reprints of Frank Giacoia's American newspaper strip.

Definitely strip reprints...shame they didn't do a better job with cutting and pasting. The end result looks rather Charltonesque (to coin a word). Intermittent pencilling help from Mike Sekowsky on "Hound."

Lovely cover on this double-header. We are all familiar with the Hound but the case of the Missing Heiress appears to be adaptation of a 1947 episode of the Sherlock Holmes radio series with John Stanley as Sherlock. The whole radio series is in the public domain if you are interested. The Hound is competently, if a little statically, presented by Frank Giacoia. It’s a good tale with Watson having a wider role than in most. Missing Heiress is a gem of a find. Holmes is almost incidental to the plot of a scheming woman who has set her heart on something that she wants. Frank’s art appears more fluid and engaging on this one.

The penciling here is not Giacoia. Taking a good long look at it, I believe this is Mike Sekowsky penciling and inked by Giacoia. It's hard to tell, because there aren't many full-frames of characters, there are a lot of faces and closeups and Sekowsky's feet are his most idiocrincratic feature. So look at Page 4 last panel, Page 8 last panel, page 9 middle top panel, Page 20 (18 on the book) third panel, page 27 panel 3 (25 on the book) and look at the accentuated brow lines on many of the characters. Has to be Sekowsky. Second Artist I can't place, but not Franks pencils. Sy Barry perhaps? Cheers! ' If Giacoia had a Holmes strip in Newspapers, then Sekowsky was working on it with him.

Happy to (very belatedly) back up the Panther's opinion that the Baskerville art is by Mike Sekowsky, after a childhood seeing his work on the early issues of DC's JLA, I can only wholeheartedly concur, irrespective of who may have inked it. Sadly I have yet to see an artist who can really bring Holmes alive on the comic page, and Sekowsky's no exception. I can't name the artist on the second feature, but I find it no more exciting than the first. Oh Lord haven't I been spoilt! :-)
