| Credits | Pencils: Bob Butts? | Inks: Bob Butts? |
| Content | Genre: Western-frontier | Characters: Rod Cameron; War Paint (horse); Jim Carey (crooked mine owner); Notch Johnson (mine owner) |
| Notes | The art here is identical to some original pages credited to Butts, one from "Copper Canyon" (credited by Jerry Bails), in Motion Picture Comics, and some from "Bob Swift" # 3.
The other stories in "Bob Swift" also have these same smiling faces with long chins, but the faces have no resemblance to a signed story in "Pay-Off " #1, 1948, so there could be a misplaced credit on the originals, or Butts radically changed his style in two years.
Boyd Magers has Clem Weisbecker as artist on Rod Cameron, but the realistic horses in this issue are far from the crude ones by Weisbecker, see Jungle Girl #1. Very uncertain credits. |
