I gotta be crazy, but that second story looks like John Buscema with an unusual ink job. Somebody tell me who it really is.

I think you're right, and I think big John did the first story, too. Don't know for sure, though.

Gran trabajo. Saludos. Muchas gracias.

Those first two stories are more likely to be Marvin Stein. With different inkers. If you look at the panel here you'll see that his work is very similar to Buscema's.

I think his work is familiar to me from the Gold Key Twilight Zones.
Edit. Ok I'm happy to eat crow.
According to this Buscema was on staff at Ziff-Davis, so it may well have been him.

Three years later I see less Buscema in the second story and more some DC artist. I would certainly buy Marvin Stein on the lead story.

I notice no further mention is made of them being on probation. Also, another nice essay. Kim L. Neidigh
