| Great Crandall cover. Love the background detail.
I'm sorry, but I just can't buy the Anderson's inking credit. Check out "Hot Rod Killers" in Wanted Comics #49 (/?dlid=32683), published the same year, 1952. THAT is what Anderson inks look like! |

| Notes | Edmond Good is credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, also by an art sample by these two artists. Same art as here. The heads with a kink in the neck, and grinning in sideview are very like the art of some Lance O'Casey stories and original art credited to him in Whiz Comics #134 and #136. |
