P. C. 49 by F.G. Moorsom & John Worsley.

As described on the books page, they were lavishly illustrated with many black and white drawings, but the highlight was the "full page" colour plates. Below is a selection of illustrations by both F.G. Moorsom and John Worsley.

From P.C.49
The Case of the Green Marbles.

"Something Stung Archie on the Neck."
F.G. Moorsom

The Case of the Golden Eagle

Down the Hill and round the corner whizzed Forty-nine and Bunny.

NOTE: I think these two plates illustrate John Worsley's affinity with drawing the "Boys Club", and how detailed many of his images are.

Both Images From P.C. 49 Annual
The Case of The Million Dollar Baby.

P.C. Forty-nine's moustache seemed to quieten the baby.

"What have you done with that boy?" grunted Forty-nine.
