Indexer Notes
Ashe's work can be recognized by the hands which seem to grow together with some short lines between them. Notice Joe on page 2 panel 1 and compare it with page 3 panel 2 in "Gunman's Gamble", Ziff-Davis' Authentic Police Cases #27. Also some faces in side view here are identical.

Indexer Notes
The artwork here is identical to Kotsky's Flyboy #1 and #2 for Ziff-Davis. The sleek inklines are good indicators of Kotzky. Some angry faces can look like Olesen, but Kotzky has some similar faces in Flyboy.
