Thanks a lot for this. A very early book, BJD (Before John Dixon) but published in 1950, not 1850!
Not a total expert but I always thought Dixon took over from De Vine, and not the other way around. Happy to be proved wrong, if I'm wrong.
They also both worked on Biggles. Their version was also published in the UK and Paw Broon can tell you more about that. Also, the landscape format, used in the early issues was not exclusive to Australia. It was common in Europe, particularly in Italy and Spain. Paw can also tell you more about that.We have examples in the non-English section.
