NotesSTEEL BARR AND THE PHANTOM MAN #4 was published in October 1950 (estimated) by Young’s Merchandising. It consists of two ongoing series: STEEL BARR by Lloyd Piper and CHA CHAPMAN by Kevan Hardacre. This was intended as an ongoing comic, but this is the last issue. Steel Barr had been a popular feature in Hurricane Comics, and was awarded his own title. After its cancellation, he was rarely seen again. On the other hand, the second feature (the spelling of which was corrected), went on to his own comic, Char Chapman, the Phantom of the East.

The Char Chapman story features a robot who looks like he'd have Magnus, Robot Hunter, after him - but 13 years before Magnus was first published

Lloyd Piper is probably best known for his last job: he was the third cartoonist to produce the adventures of Ginger Meggs from 1973 to 1983 (Piper was working on Ginger Meggs up until his death). Before that, Piper was the creator of characters like Steel Barr and Planetman, but he was also entrusted with the first Australian version of Catman (John Dixon re-envisioned the character later). Piper also created the adventure strip Wolfe, published weekly in the Sunday Telegraph for six years, but which has now largely been forgotten.

Kevan Hardacre was briefly involved in the Australian comics industry, with his best known work being on 'Trig' Mason and Char Chapman - both now relatively obscure characters. He credited his comics work as improving his drawing skill and speed, but found the pay insufficient. He jumped ship to more lucrative commercial illustration work. In due course, he set up an art consultancy business, advising on advertising, brochures and displays for the business community.

Just noticed: Steel Barr also appears in Cooee Comics, which was published earlier than this comic

Just out of curiosity: in quite a few of these Australian comics scans I've notice that there are areas which are markedly darker. Sometimes it's a few words in a dialogue balloon which are darker than the others, and at other times it's a small part of the art. Look at the first panel on page 4 -- one of the pygmies' arms is distinctly sharper and blacker, and a bit of the shading on Steel's shirt is as well. Do you think this was the original printing or a result of the scanning process?
