Indexer Notes

Art identification based on Patenaudeā€˜s signed cover for V...- Comics #2 (March, 1942), which both feature protagonists with small and smoothly well-rounded heads, wide smiles showing teeth, and capes hanging in the air. The white-haired men on both covers are also similarly drawn, as well as the block walls in the background which appear partially detailed.
