Some notes on Jack Bellew/John Welles: Bellew was a successful journalist in Australia, writing for paper in both Sydney and Melbourne, and rising through the ranks to hold editorial roles. He was a self-professed lefty, and his views were at odds with the ruling political party of the time (including Sir Robert Menzies, Australia's longest serving Prime Minister). He quit from newspaper work and set up, with friends, Atlas Publications, which published magazines and popular fiction, as well as some comics. He also went on to become the editor of 'Tomorrow', a sensationalist left-wing journal that attacked capitalist and PM Menzies.
