Kirk House Has anyone else suggested that the artist on his frequently-repeated ad might be Russ Heath? That's what it looks like to me, but I'm not confident enough to assert it without others' opinions. 2012-11-01 21:45:34 Editing Editing
Kirk House Thanks for the input, Don... and here you go!

Donald Dale Milne Kirk -
Yes, we have 13 instances of this ad recorded, see http://www.comics.org/story/name/Roman%20Soldiers/sort/alpha/ . All of the ones I checked list Russ Heath art, so you can safely use that here. Good spotting.
