Next up are five covers of BUSTER from November
1963. The first one features The Boy Who New Two Much – a Western
about a Texan boy whose great-grandfather’s sheriff’s badge occasionally
enabled him to see into the future, allowing him to prevent crimes and
robberies.
Eric Bradbury who was in charge of Maxwell
Hawke stories never failed to come up with a dramatic splash panel
whenever he was asked to draw one for the cover of BUSTER:
Eric Bradbury was also responsible for the panel
of Mike
Kane – Gladiator on the cover of the next issue. According to BUSTER
Index by Ray Moore and Steve Holland, it was one of the last episodes by Mr.
Bradbury before Bill Lacey took over illustrator’s duties in December.
Carlos Cruz is credited as the artist of Return
of the Shrinker.
I don’t know who drew Black Axe in this
issue and BUSTER index is not much help either:
As I
explained in my introduction to this series HERE, I started it hoping perhaps
it will attract the attention of BUSTER collectors with spare copies of the
title and they’ll help me fill my few remaining gaps. Please, contact me via
e-mail if you have copies to sell or swap and don’t mind shipping abroad because
I am not in the UK. I have 25 – 30 spare copies from the early 60s and might
help fill some of your gaps, so e-mail me for a list and details about
condition. See my blogger profile for the address.
