Rover covers (1965)

When it came to DC Thomson, although I always liked their humour comics I was never a regular buyer of their adventure comics and story papers. I preferred the ones by Odhams and Fleetway/IPC (plus City's TV21 of course) and American imports. However I've recently bought quite a few old DCT titles and I'll be showing some material from those next year. 

For today though, here's half a dozen covers from 1965 issues of Rover and Wizard that I bought recently. This long-running text story weekly featured some excellent covers as you can see. Superbly illustrated and designed, these eye-catching covers offered an exciting incentive for the reader to buy them. Unfortunately, as they're uncredited and as I'm not too familiar with Thomson's story papers I don't know who the artists were. Can anyone help? I'm guessing the two Lame-Duck Donovan covers might be by Ron Smith but I could be way off. Any information would be gratefully received and I'd credit you of course. 

In the meantime, enjoy looking at these fine examples of an age long gone.
