| Featuring | The Hooded Horseman |
| Credits | Script: Richard Hughes? | Pencils: Rocco Mastroserio? | Inks: Rocco Mastroserio? |
| Content | Genre: Western-frontier | Characters: Hooded Horseman [Bud Fraser]; Flash (dog); Annie Prescott; Luke (gunman); Clem Fawkes (crook); Jake Prescott |
| Notes | Mastroserio is credited on various features on both pencils and ink for ACG by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. The art here is probably his, as it resembles his credited pencils/ink story in Operation Peril #10, "Notorious Western Outlaws". The horses are identical, and some faces in profile with the special wavy hair in the neck. Also the rather inaccurate dog is identical to his dogs in a signed story in Adventures into Darkness #10. But he seems to vary in his inking, with more black in some horror stories. Another possible penciler could be Mo Marcus, who pencilled many signed stories inked by Mastroserio, but he is only credited on funny animals for ACG. |
