Key Facts: This is an issue from the Australian original comic series "Sir Falcon," a long-running title featuring a knightly adventure hero inspired by (and often considered a local knock-off of) The Phantom. The series began around 1954 under Frew Publications (created and initially drawn by Peter Chapman, with contributions from others like Jan Kickhefer from about #21 and John Dixon on select issues like #36-37). It transitioned to Tricho Publications Pty. Ltd. around 1961 (exact transition uncertain). Features black-and-white interior art, matte color cover, saddle-stitched binding, standard comic size, and adventure/knight-themed stories. The main story is 21 pages, with additional 1-page advertisements ("111 Stamps for 1/-" by Seven Seas Stamps Pty. Ltd. and "How Jack Seymour Changed from a Puny Weakling to a Real He-Man!" by Home Physical Development Co.). Printed by Rotary Colorprint Co. Pty. Ltd., Sydney. The series ran for approximately 55 issues total (ending around 1963), part of Australia's "golden age" of local comics. #54 falls in the Tricho era (1961–1963) with approximate bi-monthly or irregular releases.
