@The Australian Panther - this is exactly half of the comic. The other 12 pages are a 9.5 page Smoky Dawson story and 2.5 pages of ads. The short version is I'm indexing comics held in a library (to contribute to the the GCD and AusReprints), scanning some to upload here. I hadn't planned to scan this comic, but the resemblance of the villain, the Bat, to a British comic character of the same name, so I scanned it quickly and sent to Paw Broon for his interest (being an Australian/British crossover of a kind). He decided to upload it, but I hadn't done any reading on the production of the comic. I quickly looked up the artist and posted info on him after it was available here. I can and may upload the whole comic after I learn more to comment usefully on its context . (For those interested, see http:www.internationalhero.co.uk/b/bat2.htm for more on the original version of the Bat and where his stories are lifted from.)
