Thanks for posting those Mr Blandiver.

As soon as I saw 'em I thought "Aha! - Eagle artist!" For an instant I thought it might be Frank Hampson's work as I know he illustrated some Ladybirds (apart from being the creator of Dan Dare).   

However, it's not Hampson but Martin Aitchison, who drew "Luck Of The Legion" in the comic for years. Mind you these are in a different, rather classier league than that; I imagine he had a rather easier deadline to meet.

Just think, he could have done a nice illustration of the Cousins with assorted ne'er-do-wells falling off chairs, but I suppose it would have frightened the children.
