Super! An embarrassment of Dixon Hawke riches. Do you know whether these are reprints from the DH magazine or new material?

Although the Dixon Hawke Library issues sometimes had two stories in them I've never seen any as short as these.  I would imagine publishers D C Thomson had plenty of authors churning out material for the two titles plus occasional appearances in the Adventure story paper.

Hawke was a regular in the Sunday Post and I wonder if these were reprints from The sunday Post.

I found this online.

There were a few stories in early issues of Casebook credited to the Sunday Post but whether all the uncredited stories were new or just haven't been researched yet I don't know.

I have too many issues of the Adventure that need editing to ever finish but I started out to edit just the Dixon Hawke stories from a block of them.  As usual I got side-tracked almost immediately by another story which I thought would appeal to paw broon as it featured a masked man.  I've uploaded The Red Spider to the compilations section.
