This is a reprint of early work by Wood (1950) originally published in Fox's "Star Presentation" #3. It was reprinted in 1952 in Star's "Startling Terror Tales" #10, which we have on site. The GCD and others have speculated the story was pencilled by Harry Harrison. It could be, but in 1950 Wood's art was still crude. This could be mostly his work. There is a strong Will Eisner influence on many pages.
(The original version of this comment seems not to have taken...apologies if there are two.)
