Notes | Same art as previous three issues. The penciller is quite good - too good, in my opinion, to be Elkan, although Hames keeps seeing him here. I would concur if restricted to inks. |

Notes | Since Dana Dutch is a real person, does this imply that the other text story writing credits are also real?

Notes | Is Elkan here, too? Penciller may be the same but the inks are somewhat cruder. This is about contemporaneous with signed Elkan at Quality. There he takes after Reed Crandall - a style NOT evident here.
Note that "Tansul" is an anagram of "Sultan". |

Notes | Per Mort Leav, Art Saaf was given old Eisner material and assigned to re-write, re-compose, and fill in the gaps to create "new" Eisner Hawk stories (Robin Snyder's The Comics). |
