Alec Hope is a pen name for Bronze Man creator/artist, Alvin C. Hollingsworth, and appeared on the strips that Hollingsworth drew (courtesy of the Who's Who).
Despite the text which specifically says Bronze Man wears a "bronze mask" to conceal his "disfigured" face, this story (and the other Bronze Man stories) has been redrawn so the hero does not wear a mask and his face is normal. |
