Plot
Newspaper reporter Sally Blair got a shock when she met her missing friend, Betsy Holbrook. Betsy, with bleached hair and glasses, insisted she was a girl named Rosemary Truscott. Sally’s troubles were only starting however. The mysterious Carol Truscott and her mother seized Sally and locked her in a cellar at the house known as the Old Mill.

Julia Round’s Spellbound database tentatively credits the art for this story to an artist called R Hanna.
Not convinced by the Hanna attribution. We know the artist worked in UK comics from 1970-4 and this is half a decade later. It would also be the only work for Spellbound.

Ramon, do you have any details of the work that Hanna may have done for UK girls’ comics? I’m sure I’ve seen this style somewhere before, but have never been able to put a name to it.
Not much. This is what the GCD has recorded:
