I could be wrong, but I think that the artist for at least part of the second story may be Mollie Higgins. She was a highly original artist who did quite a lot of work for Fleetway girls’ titles from the mid 1950s to the mid 1960’s. She started with Romance Picture Library, later moving on to the younger titles Princess and June (including some spectacular colour work for June and School Friend annuals). She also did a few stories for the DC Thomson comic Diana. Then she just vanished, and nothing more is known about her. The overall style of the art here looks too rough for her, and I can’t say how far she may have had a hand in it, but I think she drew the second story’s heroine, and may have been brought in to do this because she had a flair for drawing distinctive glamour girls. Her best art has a lot more precision and “finish” than this.

Amazing work Goof.  The Fleetway Picture Library Index agrees.  Mollie Higgins on both stories. I'll get around to adding the details to the file.
