Per Error Report #11682 (https://errors.comics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11682), May 1, 2018, Apeldoorn states "The first and third story share similarities with the Sekowsky stories, but that may be because they have the same inker or because Sekowsky (who was in some way involved with all Sterling books) did some work on splash pages and repairs. As for who drew those two, although I am tempted to say it's the work of Bill Walton (another alumnus of Standard, like Sekowsky and Andru), I will go out on a limb and suggest Mike Roy (who used Sekowsky on his own newspaper strip Mike Hammer at that time). |

Adding to the problem is the fact that it somehow also looks like the work of Clem Weisbecker, as identified by Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr." |
