Indexer Notes
Art identification based on Patenaude’s signed covers for The Eagle #3 and 4, on which the art of the Eagle and Buddy is consistent with the art of them on this cover, including small and smoothly well-rounded heads, wide smiles with teeth showing, and their capes hanging in the air. Star-esque spiky circles are also used to convey the Nazis getting punched.
