I think you are correct on both counts, Collin. I believe Berrill worked
for Branner both before and after serving in WWII. Thanks.

Berrill also drew the TEEN WISE Sunday half page. I think that Berrill was
the ghost artist/assistant to Martin Branner on the WINNIE WINKLE comic
strip in the 1950s.

That is neat as I didn't know Berrill did much comics (or I didn't tie in
the name because the style is so different) before Gil Thorpe (somewhere
around here I have a Gil Thorpe original)
that is a nice page for Buster Crabbe- probably originally came from
Stephe n Douglas who edited a lot of that line

Thanks, George. While the story is uncredited, the art in many ways looks
like BC art from other issues where Berrill is credited. Further, the
artist of this story signed his name on page one and while the name is
indecipherable it definitely begins with a B.

have no idea who may have drawn it - I do know is it not by Mike Roy who is
credited for a story in that issue one of the few credits for stories i

Sorry if I posted this before. I'm going the way of the dinosaurs.
