Mild Bill Hiccup
Our second European reprint following on from yesterday's 'Pooch'. This one looks like it was created as a rival to 'Lucky Luke'. Like 'Pooch', this one ran very briefly in 1966 and probably originated in Spirou or Journal de Tintin.

Hi Steve,
judging by the art I am pretty sure that it is Chiqui de la Fuente (Victors young brother). Not sure if it is from Tintin, since he also worked for Fleetway.
hi, don't know for sure who is the artist, but I'm pretty sure it's not Chiqui's work. I would rather bet on Paul Deliége.
Would really love to know who didi this strip.

I have to say I also don't think it's Chiqui, although he was working for Fleetway around that time - but drawing adventure strips. I'll continue to dig around to see if we can confirm who the artist was and whether it was a reprint or an original British strip. My guess has always been that it is a reprint. However, I would be happy to be proven wrong if only to resolve the mystery.
