Indexer Notes

Art was previously attributed to Munson Paddock, but the art is distinctly different from the Buck Saunders art in Headline Comics #13-18 (1945-1946), which more closely resembles Paddock’s general style, such as his use of big eyes, long noses, and starry visuals for energetic movement.
