Indexer Notes
The artwork is identical to stories credited by the GCD to Sharp in Amazing Adventures (Ziff-Davis, 1950 series) #4 and a story suggested as Sharp in Nightmare (St. John, 1953 series) #10. Very large mouth when shouting, scribbly inking, broad grinning faces with big ears, and much funny cartoon style movement.

Mike Sekowsky is credited to pencils on G.I. Joe 1950-51 by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and he can be spotted by the rather short legged figures and their way of walking seen in front view.
