Indexer Notes

The artwork is identical to stories credited by the GCD to Sharp in Amazing Adventures (Ziff-Davis, 1950 series) #4 and a story suggested as Sharp in Nightmare (St. John, 1953 series) #10. Very large mouth when shouting, scribbly inking, broad grinning faces with big ears, and much funny cartoon style movement.

Indexer Notes

Dan DeCarlo is credited to both pencils and ink on "The Yardbirds" in Jerry Bails' Who's Who, but Rudy Lapick is also credited as his personal inker, and the inking is not to be distinguished from other signed DeCarlo/Lapick stories in G.I. Joe.
