Indexer Notes

Original indexer credited Hargis alone. Saltarella feels that Hargis may have had some involvement, but that Prentice did most of the art. Ryan Ten finds that Hargis is credited as having signed another “Inspector Denver” story, and while some faces do look Prentice-esque, the art style fits what Hargis is definitively credited with.
