It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
Definitely not Soper. The seller probably just googled "Who did the FF artwork" and came up with that name.

I don't think anyone could mistake those for Betty Maxey either!

How right you are Wolfgang. I have a dream that one day a load of her original Famous Five covers are discovered and are offered for sale at a reasonable price!
I do like the artwork for many of the 1970s-80s annuals (several artists were used) but it's certainly not Soper!
