Indexer Notes

Artist is "Kamenesque" (i.e., similar to Jack Kamen) and may in fact be using Kamen swipes for faces in this story. The body positions and composition are not well done (story p. 5 panel 3 is particularly poor with a grotesquely small hand held up to a man's head) and argue against this actually being by Kamen.
