Rookwood featured in the Gem as a second story in issues 2/1017 - 2/1057 but unfortunately the stories were not by Hamilton.

 In issues 1206 to 1220 Genuine Hamilton stories appeared before the substitute authors returned in issues 2/1221 through 2/1257. You can find details of the Hamilton stories below.

(Data taken from the Rookwood Index by WOG Lofts and Derek Adley. You can find a scan of the index here.)
