| Notes | Page 9 is drawn by Harry Anderson, as can be seen by the faces both of Green Lama and the villains. Anderson's faces have a special mouth with two lines that don't meet at the center, and more open eyes than Raboy, and also some lines on the cheek, which never appear in faces by Raboy, who is very "economic" with lines. Compare with the signed Anderson story in "Mr. Scarlet and Pinky", Wow Comics #34. Also page 12 has Anderson faces in panel 1 and 3, so this page is most probably by Anderson too. Anderson is credited on Green Lama by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, but he is not found credited in any of the Green Lama features in GCD. Anderson also has several pages in Green Lama #5. |
