I wasn't questioning you Paw. I respect your knowledge and opinions of British and European comics. I was just shocked at the similarity between the hero and Boring's Superman, and then I noticed the Jimmy Olsen lookalike and had to comment.

No, no, no.  Didn't think for a moment you were. 
But your comment made me think about the Wayne Boring look and wonder, again, just how many superheroes are of the body change type - most, of course, influenced by/ripped off from the Big Red Cheese.   There is a British strip, Mr.Apollo, and he is simply a not so well drawn Captain Marvel.

There are a lot more and I wrote an article a while ago about that very thing.  Might need to re-visit and update it.

Got it AP.   Another couple of points:  how many Space Aces are there? And, seems to me there are a number of characters, not necessarily superheroes, called Jet. 
Boring like yes but there are a couple of heads which remind me of another style.  Just can't place it.
