Reg E Hicks' Adventures of Tightrope Tim strip ran in the Sunbeams supplement from 1941 to 1949 and to the best of my knowledge was one of the strips that carried through the paper shortage years when the supplement was reduced to a single folded piece of paper. Along with a handful of other Australian strips Tim’s adventures continued for a few years after World War Two. I’d love an enterprising publisher to scan the entire run and publish a book for me and the other three Hicks fans out there.
Sunbeams Comics Supplement 9th December 1944 - Adventures of Tightrope Tim
I wish I could present to you a chronological run of the eight years Reg E Hicks' Adventures of Tightrope Tim strip ran in the Sunbeams supplement (1941 - 1949) but alas I only have a spotty collection of installments mainly from the latter years of World War Two.
