Indexer Notes
The artwork match Madden's signed story of Mother Hubbard in Bulls Eye Comics "11, with some grotesque faces, nostrils and fangs of the monster, and the peculiar bent inkline on the cheeks of some faces, and the open mouth that seems to chew the tounge, and also the eyes that are straight at the bottom and a high arch above.
