UPDATED: Ivory Castle Arrow covers

I've looked before at Ivory Castle Arrow (here) with their covers by John Ryan (issues 1-9) and John M Burns (issues 10-11). I've continued to search for covers and a new image has come to hand...issue 8 has now been added to the gallery...I've also added a few more issue details about it.

The search for issue 1 and 4 continues.

Ivory Castle Arrow, issue 1

Interior art is by Philip Mendoza, Reg Parlett and an artist who's signed his work - How they found Maroobi - but I don't recognise the signature


Here's a close-up of that signature...
Any ideas? If so, just let me know, cheers!
UPDATE: I have now been told that the artist is Leslie Caswell - who was a mentor of sorts to Mike Noble when Noble was starting out in comic strips. Norman Boyd has a number of posts about Caswell on his Visual Rants blog, including this one which has comments from two of his children: https://standby4action.wordpress.com/2011/09/17/home-notes-leslie-caswell/
