Indexer Notes

Originally credited "Ernie Hart ?", but compared with Bache's signed story in Unusual Tales #3, and Hart's K-9 story in Authentic Police Cases #4, this must be Bache, with rather short arms. He is credited on pencils, but this story match well his signed story on ink too. Hart has more sharp and bony faces.
