Indexer Notes

The story title is taken from the cover. Webb is fairly evident on the first two pages but the art quickly fades into generic shop.

Indexer Notes

I keep trying to see Webb on the pencils without any luck. Perhaps it's the less-talented inkers or perhaps these are very rushed jobs. It's also possible that he's simply not here and the shop has assumed some of these strips.
