Sorry for delay in replying to Comments but Blogger never told me there were any and after all these years I never expect any!
THANK YOU for commenting.
As for me....I did it again. Yup, quite by chance I found another previously unlisted British super hero from the 1940s -as outlined in Comic Bits 3 I keep finding these characters and mainly when I am not looking so, from now on, I will NOT be looking for old British characters (I may be lying there).
More news later.

Comic Bits is the only journal dealing with the Platinum, Golden, Dark and Silver Ages of British comics and the creators involved.
This edition looks at the number of British "Bat men" -characters lost to time. The Bat by William McCail stars in his only ever appearance
We take a look at Tom Browne and Oliver Veal recognised as creators of what became the "British style" for over 100 years.
Prolific creator Terry Bave and his wife Sheila give us a glimpse of working in Silver age weekly comics.
Then there three rarities: the first is the origin of T.N.T. Tom a true star of Swan comics. Secondly we have the other star of Swan in Dene Vernon -Ghost Investigator. His very first pouting from 1940.
Third...well, a massive shock was the discovery of a super heroine not mentioned in any sources and this one off appearance drawn by E. H. Banger (we look at his career in this issue as well) -after 60 years Wanda the Wonder Girl is revealed!
Comic strips from some of the greats of British comics add extra zing to this issue.
