Indexer Notes
Keith Chandler : Pencils were previusly credited to Bernard Sachs ?, but look more like the feature's regular artist Paul Reinman, with Sachs inks. When Reinman inks his own pencils he most often signs the work, but does not do so here.

- The Goddess of Fortune frowns...
- Genre
- adventure
- Characters
- Lady Danger [Valerie Vaughn]; Gary Grath; Sligo; Hart
Indexer Notes
R. Gary Land submitted an error report that this was not Gershwin's work, but Gene Reed confirmed it was Gershwin, with the difference in the appearance in the artwork being due to that this was inked by Sachs and not by Gershwin (as we previously had).
Keith Chandler : The reality is not quite so clear cut. Sachs certainly inks the face of Lady Danger, no doubt an attempt at visual consistency on the part of the editor, but the rest of the work has a much lighter, almost a Roy Crane touch.
