Indexer Notes

Same artwork as the first story by Starr. He is credited on working for ACG by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and is spotted by his faces with broad mouth, smiling cheeks, and a fondness for drawing gloves on most of his characters. Also the "porcupine" mustachios are his. He drew most of the Bantam Buckaroo stories for ACG.
