From a find by bairns55 and some minor edits by me, this is an obscure one from 1945.  A British humour title and a one off by an equally obscure publisher, Philip Marx.

Today a classic strip by Curt Caesar in a French translation from an Italian original.  The Will Sparrow story is from 1941, has great airplanes, lots of action and is a great read.  You'll find it here:-

New French upload today with Big Bill Le Casseur #1 from 1947.  Art by Chott, who also drew Fantax.
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=69977
Forgot to add that Chott is the pen name of Pierre Mouchot, before someone else picks the omission up.
While I'm here, there's another French classic today, and that's # 67 of Amok, the series from 1948:-

A very early French textstrip - 1904 - today, and found on the excellent site of Professeur Labor Improbus

https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=70473

Adding another title in the French language section and again from Professeur Labor Improbus.  This has 3 parts of an early - 1938 - series about the battle against The Red Cagoul, a hooded, robed, fascist organisation, and in the the 2nd. and 3rd. episodes we have, the masked mystery man Loup Garou, L'Homme Masque' and his female counterpart appear with their gas guns to aid the civilian heroes.
Art by Nicolas Mengden.

I've uploaded a new version of Captain Atlas to the Gerald G Swan section, this version has the original story plus a 2nd story found on the internet.  I'm afraid I have no idea who scanned the new story.
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=70696
Also, a compilation of TNT TOM pages and stories from various Swan comics and Albums.
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=70697
Both these heroes are very obscure but as I'm a fan of obscure superheroes I'm chuffed to the gutties to have them on the site. I've spent a lot of time raking through the backwaters of the internet trying to find more of both characters, but if anyone can dig up more strips, please let me know and they can be added to the files.

A new addition to Gerald G Swan with a 2 story collection of Mr. Apollo, a bit of a rip-off of Captain Marvel.
It seems to be the sun's energy which lets schoolboy, Jerry Gunn, to change into Mr. Apollo:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=70711
Again, these seem to be the only 2 stories which have been scanned up to now so if anyone can turn up others - he was in at least one issue of Dynamic Thrills (#7) - we can add them to the volume.

A "new" Buck Ryan story today, from 1945. Scanned from old photocopies so the quality isn't that great in places.  I tried to find scans on the internet in case they were of better quality but no luck.

Another "new" Buck Ryan story today. The Case of The Broken Thistle is from 1945.  Scanned from old photocopies and the quality isn't the best.  Hope it's readable.

Thanks to paulSB8787 coming through with the goods, we now have the 2nd. Buck Ryan strip, this from 1937. Although there are some strips missing, the start and finish are present. But it almost doesn't matter as it's a treat to be able to read this adventure. There's not much more the creators could have shoehorned in.
The story never had a title but as The Hooded Terror is the seriously nasty bad guy, I couldn't resist using him for our title.
You'll find the file in the Buck Ryan section here:-

Thanks again to paulSB8787 who supplied the strips, we now have the 3rd. Ryan thriller. Although there are some strips missing, the start and finish are present. We've invented a title for this previously untitled story.
Where there are jumps in the continuity, try reading the top of the page summary.
This, I think, is also the 1st. appearance of Zola.

A "new" Buck Ryan story today and all thanks to Wiseman for his patience in collecting the raw pages for this one. And, "PHEW", that took me a while to put this one together.  A lot of cutting the originals in two, a bit of cropping and some re-sizing to get them a bit more readable.  Great fun.
Even better news is that Wiseman has supplied another 2 stories.  It'll take me a bit longer to get them organised as they're a wee bit bigger than this one, and, after a while, my concentration goes.
Anyway, you can find it here:-

Another "new" Buck Ryan thriller today and again thanks to Wiseman for coming across with the goods. This one is from late '43 - earlyish '44 and it's got all sorts but also, at the time, illustrated the fear of axis spies working in the U.K.
Does Zola have a part to play in this one? Just wait!

Following on from the Axis Spies story, Wiseman has provided the strips in various shapes and sizes for the Burma adventure. In the middle of the story the newspaper changed the page layout for the strip going from 6 tiers per day to 5 tiers, so I've had to create a sequence of 3 tier pages followed by 2 tier pages.  And page 11 is a bit less sharp than the rest.  At the end there were a number of individual strips, so I've amalgamated them into a set of 3 tier pages. It all seems decently readable.
Thanks must go again to Wiseman
Hope you enjoy it:-

Next Buck Ryan up today.  This story follows on immediately from the Spies in Burma adventure.
I found the attempts at communicating with "natives" using "pidgin" somewhat cringeworthy. Signs of the times?  That was then? Apart from that, lots of action.

Buck Ryan - War Correspondent today.  From end '44 to Jan. '45.  Things turn a bit nastier here and there are scenes of torture, so be warned.  Thanks again to Wiseman.

Back to peacetime adventures for our next Buck Ryan story - Case of the Crimson Grass from 1946.
I've skipped the previous story provided by Wiseman 'cos I can't improve the panels enough and I think I need help from some of the talented folk on CB+.  If I can't get the help, I'll keep going with the story (The Terrorists) and it will see the light of day at some point, just not perhaps in the best readable condition.
Anyway,  the new one, Crimson Grass, is available here.  Done the best I can with it.  Hope you all enjoy it, incl. a great line from Zola on page 64

Thanks to the great work by paulSB8787, we now have the 4th, Buck Ryan story, this one from 1938. And all that had to be done was a wee bit of cropping, straightening (thanks to the prog. Krac sent me) and creating a front page.
All sorts of goings-on in this one.  Action? You want action? Here it is:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=70981
Because of the power of work being done by Paul and Wiseman, there's now a small backlog of Ryan strips.  So they'll turn up as soon as I can turn them around ;D

Atomic Chase, Buck Ryan's Canadian Adventure is up today.  From 1944 and featuring a particularly nasty villain, plus a bit of a documentary about Canada in the latter part of the story. 
Many thanks to Wiseman, again, who supplied the original strips culled from old papers.

Another Buck Ryan story today - The Case of The Blue Star from 1946.
While the story is complete, the quality of some of the strips isn't the best and halfway through the originals, supplied by Wiseman, who took the time to excavate them, the format of some strips changed so they had to be cut and re-joined. I've done what little I could with the worst of the strips and they're a bit easier to read now. Took a while. Hope this doesn't spoil the enjoyment.
Grateful thanks to Wiseman.

The sixth Buck Ryan story from 1938/1940.  This was an untitled story so we've called it, "Murder at Meadowside House".  Thanks to paulSB8787 who searched out and provided the original strips from old papers.  Only 2 strips are missing from this story.
You can find it here https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=71240
Hope you enjoy it.
