NotesPencil identification by Henry Mendryk, who reports that "Glaven" was a boyhood friend of Simon.
Some experts believe the pencils are by Jack Kirby.

Keith Chandler : Simon, I think, possibly with another inker on Captain Freedom's face.

GenreAdventure; War

InksBarbara Hall ?
First LineThe Axis High Command spawns an insidious plot...
NotesKeith Chandler : A previous indexer sugeested Jill Elgin as artist, but, by comparison with the signed Parker story in issue #24, this is more likely to be Barbara Hall. In a possible red herring, the final panel has a male artist sitting at his easel and addressing the readers, advising them to discover the story development in the next issue.
