Indexer Notes

Bjorklund has a unique style, fine horses with long face, low broad brimmed hats always flat on the head, and drop-over gun holsters with two straps. Everything very authentic. He drew many of the stories and all the covers for Tex Granger.

Indexer Notes

Howard Larsen is identified by his very broad brimmed hats back in the neck, looking like butterfly wings, and his faces with small eyes. Usually a heavy dark shade under the nose and inside and under the ear. His bodies are crude and awkward. Art ID by Steinar Ådland, March 2011.
