Howard Larsen‘s art really helps elevate this series to a more profound level. I’m surprised it doesn’t get talked about more often.
   By The Australian Panther
I'm curious about this art identification. Doesn't look anything like most other work that is identified as Larsen. Like this one - 'Slave Girl Comics 2' /?dlid=15352 The Art on all the Jack Armstrong's is good, but most are uncredited. The art on this one is different to most of the other Jack Armstrong books, but some of the others might be Larsen. Another artist about whom there is scant information and is not in LAMBIEK. Curious.
