Indexer Notes

Jerry Bails' Who's Who has GAM as George Marko, Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. originally suspected GAM was George Mandel, but artwork is similar to Captain Grim story in this issue which is signed just AM, for Alan Mandel. Current guess is that GAM is George and Alan Mandel, probably with George Mandel as the writer since he had been wounded during WWII.
