| Eagle-eyed readers will notice that both the Milt Grey and the Pearls of Death features were both also in the earlier uploaded New Big Hit Comics. While the stories are standalone, New Big Hit Comics was published before Bonzer Comics. Graeme Cliff has information on the publication order of Frank Johnson's one-shot comics in 'From "Sunbeams" to Sunset'. |
|
| We also already had 'Mudrake the Magicain' in the Australian section. Iconic strip by by the great Emile Mercier |
|
| Frank Johnson was definitely a fan of Emile Mercier, and published several collections based on the various Mercier characters (Wocko the Beaut and Supa Dupa Man also got compiled books). Like the Compilation section of this site, readers like to find stories about their favourites all together. |

| Looks like an interesting mixed bag, Dan. Great to see a female lieutenant too! |
|
| Page 30 - I have never seen a slingshot called a Shanghai before. I wonder how that came about! |
