JVJ has Lee Sherman on this, and comparing the artwork with other stories signed by Sherman, confirms it. |
| |

| Notes | Signed "TEX" alongside the left boot of the nearest rider. He is not credited to western at Charlton by Jerry Bails' Who's, but the artwork compares well with signed (Tex Blaisdell) work on "Prairie Kate" in St. John's "The Texan" #9. Also credited to Blaisdell by JVJ. |
| |

| Notes | Orlando is credited on Charlton's Annie Oakley by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and the artwork here is identical to his signed story in Cowboy Western #18. Also JVJ has Orlando credited as most probable here. |
