Indexer Notes

Alberto Giolitti drew most of the Tonto stories, and he did not use assistants, but did both pencil and inking himself. Info from interview on Angelo Todaro's web site. The only assistant he used to pencil backgrounds was Giovanni Ticci after at least 1960. Art ID by Steinar Ådland January 2011.
