| Notes | George Evans noted that both he and Frazetta were hired at Fiction House after the war as 'clean-up' men - inking blacks, erasing lines, and so on. The penultimate panel on page 8 may be the first identifiable work of the 18 year-old Frazetta, but there are other probable touch ups throughout the story (the final panel on page 2, for example). |
