Danger Mouse steps into the fray, he'd already done a few issues before this one, drawn by Arthur Ranson, who I found it hard to believe had done this, having seen spectacular realism in strips like Sapphire and Steel, but in a conversation with him not so long back, he said being given DM was a big surprise but he enjoyed drawing DM a lot.  He was actually no stranger to humour as he also did 'Settle Down Now! with Ken Goodwin' and 'Potty Time'.

Anyone who wants to read my 'Natter with Arthur Ranson' can...HERE.

By the way this issue is mine and complete...
