Notes | last appearance
The face of Diana on page 5 and Argus on page 6, and the many profiles with flat noses are all very much like the Battefiled-credited story in Super Mystery Comics (Ace Magazines, 1940 series) #7 and his Buck Jones stories in Master Comics (Fawcett, 1940 series) #6-10. Also Mystery Comics (Pines, 1944 series) #4. Very probably his work. |
