Frank Bellamy NOTE

SWIFT 02/04/1955 & 09/04/1955 - Paul English

There are always difficulties in trying to identify Bellamy artwork. None more so than the early material.

Paul English was illustrated by Giorgio Bellavitis. That much is agreed by sources over the Internet, but when exactly did Bellamy take over?

Below are the two episodes that I believe show the transition. The Exciting Adventures of Paul English from 2nd and 9th April 1955. Why do I think that these two illustrate the difference?

Compare the musculature and the ways it's drawn on the boys
Look at the lines to denote wooden beams
Look at the window in the room and how it differs
...and most important of all, look at the horizontals and verticals that are drawn in the room in the first and not in the second!
