Biography/History:

"Like many freelance artists of the time, Wilkinson produced work for a variety of local comics publishers. Beginning around 1950, Jeff illustrated several titles for Pyramid Publications. He drew at least one episode of the 'Michael Chance' crime series for the company's ongoing anthology title, Pyramid Comics (No.28). Wilkinson went on to draw the character's lead stories in the spin-off title, Michael Chance Comics. However, the titular character would give way to Yaroslav Horak's masked aviator hero, 'Jet Fury', a back-up strip which eventually took over the title with issue No.17" -- http://comicsdownunder.blogspot.com.au/2006/12/jeff-wilkinson-phantoms-and-shadows.html#!/2006/12/jeff-wilkinson-phantoms-and-shadows.html
