The Blue Ray

The Blue Ray, a single-issue comic published by K. G. Murray in 1947, stands as a curious artifact of Australian comics history. Crafted entirely by Jim Borella Swan, who both wrote and illustrated the story, this lone installment introduced a mysterious hero whose brief, self-contained adventure offers a glimpse into the post-war pulp landscape Down Under. While it never expanded beyond that one issue, its existence marks a notable, if fleeting, moment in the country’s early comic book output.
