Indexer Notes
Previously tentatively credited to Graham Ingels by Craig Delich (September 2005). Current art identification by Saltarella who doesn't see any Ingels in this story.
The art and color on this story make the Fighting Yank look as if he's bald (rather than the long white hair he has in the two previous stories in this issue). It's possible this was a previously-drawn story with the masked Fighting Yank that was altered to fit the "new look" hero in this issue.
