The Adventures of Smoky Dawson was published by Colour Comics, and issue 7 was published in December 1957 (estimated). This story is drawn by Andrea Bresciani, an Italian-born cartoonist who emigrated to Australia in 1950. Bresciani was working as a cartoonist in Italy before emigrating, and continued in that profession in his new home. He is best known for the non-fiction comic strip Frontiers in Science which he drew for 10 years, during which time it grew from being published in one Australian newspaper to being syndicated to over 200 newspapers internationally. After this, Bresciani became involved in animated movies, working as an animator, layout artist and art director for Hanna-Barbera and Marvel Productions, working in a number of countries, including Spain, Germany, the Philippines and Australia. In his retirement, he turned his hand to sculpting horses.
