These are the unique original Pen & Ink Wash by Bert Vandeput.

The style of the artwork should be familiar to anyone who is a fan of such classic strips as "Dozy Danny - Football Star in the Making", "The Team of the Doomed", "Wilson the Wonder Athlete" and "The Wolf of Kabul" in The Hotspur, and "Come Away the United", "The Team that Jack Built" and "Gorgeous Gus" in The Victor.

Splendid art by Bert Vandeput. Not much Jag Annual art survives as the title ran for just four years 1970-73.

Two illustrations that accompanied a text story in the 1971 Jag Annual.
