NotesTRIUMPH is a one-off anthology comic published by Frank Johnson in 1946. It includes the first appearance of THE RAVEN by Phil Belpin (his first published comic), an episode of Moira Bertram’s JO, an episode of Peter Chapman’s CAPTAIN JERRY WINTERS, and comedy strips by Lock and Angus Orchard. At the time, American comics were banned from import to Australia, and no new periodical could be licenced to help preserve limited paper stocks so all new comics were one-offs and needed unique names. A brand (in this case Magpie Comics) helped readers keep track of where characters might appear next. Luckily for readers, periodical licences would soon return and Frank Johnson started publishing the ongoing anthology title, Gem Comics.

The interesting contributor to this issue is Moira Bertram, who sometimes worked under the pen-name 'Bert'. Moira was born in 1929 and studied portraiture while growing up. Her first comic, 'Jo and Her Magic Cloak', was published in the newspaper The Daily Mirror in January 1945 while she was still a teenager. Her art was bold and dynamic reflecting her more pure art background compared to the commercial art skills of many of her male colleagues. She worked with her sister, Kathleen, who assisted with the layouts and lettered the finished pages. After a period working for Frank Johnson, she started self-publishing as well as freelancing with a range of other comics publishers. She finished with comics in the 1950s. She also designed paperback covers. I can't see any information as to whether she is still alive.
