It's strange how wildly the art style varies from page to page. Obviously several different artists worked on it, some rather realistic, others very cartoony. Were some of these taken from comic book panels? In some drawings the Captain is just plain off-model. I suppose the early date (1941) might offer a partial explanation. It seemed to have taken a while for Fawcett to settle on the Beck, Costanza & Co. style as the standard.
