A more subtle advert came with the Heinz 57 logo on the certificate at the back of this comicImage

Dug out the comic again , luckily I had a rough idea where I had buried it.I didn't expect to find the artists name and that's how it turned out.Here is another image a poor camera image and not a scanImage
Checking with the internet it was a free gift with United biscuits1977.Another source says it given after saving tokens from KP crisps both maybe the same thing.I am more a Dr Watson of comic collecting rather than a Sherlock Holmes and I don't normally get involved in comic detail therefore my knowledge is limited. :) I do however know the name of the artist of Brickman :D

Looks like I was wrong. That's not John Richardson artwork. Perhaps it's by some graphic designer they commissioned, who drew his influences from various comics, as graphic designers often do.

United Biscuits owns the KP brand so they are the same thing. Was likely a promotion on crisp brands such as Hula Hoops and Skips.
