NotesACTION COMIC #1 by Len Lawson (he wrote and drew the three stories in this anthology, as well as a factual page on ships), published by Peter Huston Publishing in (estimated) August 1946. Action Comic would, as of issue 2, become the home of the Lone Avenger, a popular break-out character. While his creator, Len Lawson, rode high in the Australian comics firmament, he was later jailed ‘never to be released’ because of crime he committed. (New upload due to duplicated pages)

Thank you Downunder Dan, for making this very cool book available!
   By Downunder Dan
Having replaced the file, the previous comments have vanished. Here they are. DOWNUNDER DAN: And what did Len Lawson do to get such a "never to be released" jail sentence? It can be summarised in two words: rape and murder. Rather than writing about it, and putting the information online again, you might want to read the entry on the Lambiek Comiclopedia https:www.lambiek.net/artists/l/lawson_len.htm - or not bother, and spare yourself knowing more. I thought about not including anything from this person, but the Lone Avenger is a very important character in Australia's brief golden age of comics. Separate the art from the artist, if you can. PAW BROON: Thanks for this one Dan but I think there are a couple of pages duplicated and perhaps 2 pages missing. I knew about this awful character and some would make an argument about not sharing his work. But I believe you've done the right thing in posting the comic. DOWNUNDER DAN: I'll check the scans and see if it's an issue with the scanning or the assembly of the contents. I'll resubmit when fixed. I'm open to views on whether Lawson's work should be excluded. As his Lone Avenger stories were popular, excluding them might skew an understanding of how and why Australian comics developed. Did the Lone Avenger make westerns more numerous? And how do we make non-Lawson content available if we exclude the work of an unsavoury creator? SUPERSCROUNGE: As a creator I consider my work to be my children, and we don't punish children for the crimes of the father. Lawson was a flawed human and, I believe, he was punished for his crimes. His work committed no crimes and can be judged on its own merits. OZMAN: Thanks for this Dan. In case anyone is interested, this link has Len Lawson on "60 Minutes" in 2003. https:www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJNVHAMpVYQ
