| Notes | Originally credited to Edmond Good, like the "Sioux Massacre", even if the artwork is very different. The best to compare with is the Charles Sultan story in "Adventures Into the Unknown" #25. There the many close up faces in side view are identical both in layout and inking to this one. Some of the many smiling faces in close up, with heavy jaw and chin, especially in sideview on page 7 are very much like Paul Gustavson, except the inking, but with Sultan it all fits. Anyway, it is NOT Edmond Good. His faces are more rounded and with bright eyes and lips like Johnny Hazard. |
