Came for the artwork--splendid!--stayed for the story--pretty good. Wikipedia tells me that Jeffery Farnol was a successfu8l English novelist who wrote popular historical novels from 1907 right up to his death in 1952. It turns out that Jasper Shrig appeared in a series of ten books spread out over thirty-some years.

Thank you Crash. On the comic we are in Absolute agreement. And I'm going to have to look for those books, that just happens to be a period when al lot of excellent thrilllers were written, and I have by chance come across some of them in 2020.
So much to read, so little time. 
Cheers!

Here's an interesting bit of info. Jasper Shrig appeared on the BBC. An adaptation of The Loring Mystery was part of the anthology series Detective produced in 1964. And who played Shrig? Who played Shrig, that's who! Patrick Troughton was cast as the noted Bow Street runner. When a second Shrig story was adapted in 1968 the role was taken by Colin Blakely.
