Indexer Notes

Dan Spiegle is only credited on pencils on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, But inking here is much like his signed stories in #18. Foldings in clothing and much pen lines on faces. Could be him.

Indexer Notes

Dan Spiegle is only credited on pencils on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and the inking here could be by Ziegler. Page 14 has most Ziegler look to it with dark broad shadings and the curly headed man in first panel with black curl in the ear.
