NotesArt was previously attributed to Gerald Altman, but the way the eyes, teeth, and ears are drawn more closely resembles those of Chu’s in his Green Turtle art from Blazing Comics (1944-1945). Some of the lettering on the torii on the splash page also matches the lettering on his signed Late Summer painting from 1934: http://chimericaneyes.blogspot.com/2014/01/about-artist-chu-f-hing.html
