Tuska, Celardo, Cardy, and perhaps others - someone swiping Lou Fine or doing a decent imitation. Possibly collaged from earlier strips a la "Hawk." See "Inspector Dayton" later in this issue. Bill Black reports the artist as being Lou Fine in Golden-Age Men of Mystery #12.

Indexer Notes

This resembles a very early Bob Powell style and some panels are certainly collaged from earlier strips. The car in the first two panels of page two is traced from the ZX-5 story in Jumbo #10, for instance.
