[Downunder Dan]

Vernon Hayles was a London-born artist who moved to Australia in 1941. As a freelance illustrator, he worked primarily providing illustrations and cartoons for magazines. For KG Murray Publishing, he not only illustrated magazines, he also wrote and drew comics. These included one-page humour strips and longer adventure pieces. His comics were a small part of his output. Later in his career he painted book covers and took over the production of both ‘Wally and the Major’ and ‘Mike Manly – Miracle Man’ when a new artist was required.
