Indexer Notes

Printing of the original story has 10 pages of art.
Art submitted on October 20, 1943. This story was drawn as a ten-page story, with pages that were three panels deep. It was published as a seven-page story, with pages that were four panels deep, by trimming and expanding the panels. Apparently no panels were omitted. Notes and synopsis by Michael Barrier from "Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic Book" (M. Lilien, 1982).
