Introduction and origin of Captain Marvel (Roger Winkle, not the Fawcett or the Marvel Comics heroes). Introduction of Billy Baxton (not Fawcett's Billy Batson).
Splash page notes "Based on a character created by Carl Burgos." Nick Caputo suspects that Carl Burgos may have provided layouts for Francho.
Lambiek Comiclopedia (https://www.lambiek.net/artists/f/francho_leon.htm) suggests that Leon Francho was probably the Argentine artist Arnoldo Franchioni, who often used the penname "Francho."

No one is credited for this story, but the art and writing is similar enough to the first story (which is credited) to make the assumption that it is the same creative team.
