As I read through these the stories are starting to repeat. We've had "evil puppets" and "lucky guy with a two-headed quarter" come up before as villain schticks in this series.

On the other hand, this is the first time that Doll Man's girl friend has her own feature! Beat that, Lois Lane.

PencilsMax Elkan
InksMax Elkan
NotesOriginally credited to Al Bryant, but few of his many close up faces in side view or female heads with protuding forehead are seen. This is most probably by Elkan, with narrow eyes, abundance of hair on the head. Also the inking is much like his work.

PencilsJohn Celardo ?
InksJohn Celardo ?
NotesOriginally credited to Al Bryant, but the sharp hard lined faces are most probably by Celardo. Compare with his story in Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery #38. It is later than this, but his firm faces and figures are similar. He is credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who.

GenreSuperhero
CharactersDoll Man [Darrel Dane]; Ferris; Sport Gurk (villain, introduction); Gurk's gang (villains, introduction for all)
PencilsRafael Astarita
InksRafael Astarita
NotesOriginally credited to Al Bryant, but this is most probably Astarita. Especially the face on top of page 8 is exactly identical to ones found in his signed story in Real Life Comics #53. Also some faces in 3/4 backview with google eyes are similar. Compares well with his story in Jumbo Comics #51.

Alter Ego #141 (August 2016) has article by Hames Ware indicating that the art is by Astarita.
