Enjoyable storylines.

Interestingly, when the strip morphed int DAVY JONES,
Al McWilliams was the writer and the artist was WAYNE BORING. Nice work too.

Sam Leff was the writer on "Davy Jones." Alden McWilliams was the artist following Wayne Boring. Both men did fine work on the series. In its last days the strip suffered the final indignity: It was drawn by Bill Fraccio and Tony Tallarico. They didn't sign their work...only Sam Leff's name appeared in the signature block. I speculate that the strip's circulation was going downhill and the pay was too low for McW to continue, The Fraccio-Tallarico team always seemed to show up when the rates hit rock bottom.
