Indexer Notes

Crimebuster logo, but Crimebuster isn't in costume.

Beginning with this issue, and story, the logo and name of Crimebuster was altered to C.B., perhaps by the rising backlash against crime comics.

Indexer Notes

There are some character faces on various pages of this story which look like Bob Powell's work. See pages 3,4,8,11,13-15 of the story. Note that Crimebuster's face looks very similar to the art in the first story on this issue, however.
