I looked (here) at 'The Valiant book of mystery & magic 1976' and one strip in particular stands out, "The final victim"...
What stands out is that the (managing) editor is called "JJ Legrun" - I'd humbly suggest that this is a play on legendary IPC editor "Jack Le Grand".
I guess the question is is the artist, as drawn, Joe Colquhoun?
The other point to note is that the other day Steve Marchant was trying to ascertain if a photo he had was of Le Grand...the only clue he had was that he thought that Le Grand had a bit of a gap between his front teeth. I noticed that in the strip "Legrun" has just such a gap between his teeth - a co-incidence? Maybe I'm imagining it? Or is it a VERY good drawing of Le Grand?
