Jim Lavery's art can only be called excruciating.
   By
'The 39 steps' 'first appeared as a serial in Blackwood's Magazine, credited to “H de V.”, in July, August and September 1915 before being published in book form in October that year by William Blackwood and Sons" So it jars om this version, on CB+ page 8, that Scudder says,"I came across a plot to start a 'third world war' in 10 days." This has to be a revision. I can't find a date of original publication on the comic or the CB+ entry, but it is probably post WWII. As for the art, his anatomy and faces are not work of genius, but at least he draws hands and feet and many contemporary artists try to avoid that if possible. His layouts haven't much energy but they work to tell the story well. Not that you can go too far wrong with that story. Cheers!
