The serial started in the September 1954, with this collection published in 1956. Both the serial and the collection were published by Standard Newspapers. I've included the cover of the issue of Australian Boy Fortnightly when the serial commenced (it was usually not mentioned on sunsequent issues).

James Jerome Keneally was an Australian journalist and trade unionist, and was one of the original members of the Australian Labor Party. His most famous work is The Inner History of the Kelly Gang and Their Pursuers, a seminal work of Kellyana, originally self-published in 1929, it has had 9 editions. It has been much plagiarised, although The Authentic Story of the Kelly Gang was authorised to use the book as its basis by his estate (Keneally died a few years before it was adapted in comic book form). The Inner History remains a seminal work on the Kelly Gang.
