| Notes | Several Quicksilver stories are bylined Nick Cardy, but the art is not in any way similar to his Senorita Rio stories in Fight Comics #19 and 21. They are signed N. Viscardi, his real name. Also Nick Viscardi's first Lady Luck story in the Sunday Spirit section for May 18, 1941 has a very different style from this one. It is identical to the unmistakable art of Paul Gustavson. Either is Nick Cardy the writer, or just a byline name like most of the other byline names with no connection to any real artist used in Quality comics. A little mystery. Originally credited "Nick Cardy (signed)". |
