| Notes | Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr. previously attributed the art to Irving Dressler, but the bear is distinctly different from the bear on the back cover signed by Dressler. The gorilla and bear characters more closely resemble those in Riley’s signed art from Three Ring Comics #1 (March 1945) and Monkeyshines Comics #25 (March 1949). |
