Key Facts: This is the final issue of 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 1954/1955 under Frew Publications (created and initially drawn by Peter Chapman, with contributions from others like Jan Kickhefer and possibly John Dixon on select earlier issues). It transitioned to Tricho Publications Pty. Ltd. around 1961 (starting approximately from #45). Features black-and-white interior art, matte color cover, saddle-stitched binding, standard comic size, and adventure/knight-themed stories. The series concluded at #55 after approximately 55 issues total, part of Australia's "golden age" of local comics. #55 falls in the Tricho era (1961–1963) with approximate bi-monthly or irregular releases. This issue is noted in collector discussions as the last of the run, with some surviving copies showing store stamps or travel wear.
