| Loads of nice Crandall art in this one. With various inkers? At first I thought so, but after a second and third look he may have inked them all. The first two stories are inked more heavily than the third. And I don't know how tight Crandall's pencils were. It's early in his career; maybe he was just trying out different approaches. |
