Something weird is going on with the artwork here. Most of it is competent but some panels are almost amateurish (example page 9 panel 2, page 22 panel 1). The strangest thing is that many of The Toff's heads, as well as those of some secondary characters, seem to have been pasted over. The heads are the wrong size, point the wrong direction, and/or fit awkwardly onto the necks--when there are necks. See page 34 panel 1, page 40 panel 2, and the final story panel. Finally, The Toff himself changes appearance from one panel to the next. Many closeups seem to have been drawn by a different (and much better) artist. British comic art of this period may have been stodgy but the draughtsmanship was usually solid. I wonder if this was a job given a "not ready for prime time" newcomer which was heavily reworked before publication.
