Almost all of the features and cover are reprinted from Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's pre-DC comics.
   By
Lawrence Lariar drew the first 2 installments of the Barry O'Neill and Fang Gow story for New Fun #1 and 2. The third installment was drawn by Edward Stephenson and Leo O'Mealia took over with the 4th installment. Barry O'Neill and Fang Gow continued as a serial throughout the entire run of MWN's era--1935--March/April 1938 and O'Mealia was the artist. This does not look like O'Mealia's art work nor does it look like Lariar's but I'm not an expert. Would be interesting to find out the artist.

This is almost certainly by Flessel. Compare with the second spot illustration of 'The Evil Oak' story.
