Indexer Notes

Suchorsky is credited to Frogman in Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and this work are identical to his "Sea Witch" stories in "Pirate Comics", also credited by Bails. He can be noticed by his rounded ears and lips, and detailed inking.
JVJ has him credited too. Aamodt is the only writer credited to Frogman 1952-53, but there may have been others.

Indexer Notes

John Daly is credited to war stories at Hillman 1952-53. The art has similarities with signed Daly work in Hillman's Western Fighters, but not certain.
JVJ Collection has one unknown artist spelled McAArole and Savage. Compared with Bill Savage work at Atlas/Marvel, I can't find much identical inking.
