It's Enid Blyton's The Island of Adventure. How interesting. I wonder where it was going to see print and why it didn't?

I haven't plugged my blog since I launched it so here's a few links to posts featuring British comics:

Sinbad Simms by Eric Roberts

Kelly's Eye by Mike Western

The Diving Dolphins by Ron Smith

Professor Brittain Explains by John Spencer Croft

Guardian of the Reef by ???

No, one page - page 34 of that Asterix story.

The only one I've seen is the Ranger Book 1967. It has page 34 of Asterix and the Big Fight featuring a fun fair.

Dick Turpin had several runs in Knockout . The first was in 1948 ( Dick Turpin's Ride to York drawn by D C Eyles) with another in 1949/50 ( Breed of the Brudenels by H M Brock). There was also a short run in 1962, possibly just a single story, Dick Turpin and the Cavern of Monsters . In this story, ...
