I think this artist drew some comic books too. I better find those quickly before everyone else discovers them and jacks the prices up...

Drat!  Too late!

You might be able to find some of this guy's art in another firm's digests as well -

With some crossover to the topic of Aussie pulps (on this thread or close by), I wonder if this is a digest?  It fits in a digest bag, though a bit skinnier.  Can a pub a mere 32 pages in length be termed a digest? hm

1951, part of the Scientific Thriller series.  32 pages, one illustration, two saddle stitched staples in upper half of the magazine. Blank inner front cover, one story.  Kind of a neat format, and the American equivalent doesn't really jump to mind.

Paul Valdez was a pseudonym for Alan Geoffrey Yates AKA Carter Brown AKA Raymond Glenning

Some others issues in the series (not in my collection), love the comic-book style covers which seem appropriate for the format:
