NotesACTION COMIC 17 is an anthology comic published by Leisure Industries in early 1948 (estimated). The first feature in the Lone Avenger by Len Lawson. Lawson’s later crimes are discussed under other issues of this comic, and need not be repeated here. On the story published here, Lawson’s art as improved over his time as a cartoonist, and is especially dynamic in any scene involving horses. This is issue is the firt where the illustrated storey doesn’t start on the cover. The second feature is Rick Davis by Yaroslav Horak. Horak had a long and storied career in Australia and England producing both comic books and comic strips. Perhaps his best known, and easiest to obtain, work was as the second artist on the James Bond comic strip. For a quick overview of his life, see https://www.lambiek.net/artists/h/horak_yaroslav.htm but there’s a lot more to be found if you’re interested – google beckons!

A mildly amusing thing in the Lone Avenger story is the hood warned by the Avenger, after he's removed his hat. Batman? (See page 12.) In the DC continuity, there's an Australian Batman analogue called the Dark Ranger, and his main foe is the Ned Kelly-inspired Swagman.
