Art on faces with squinting eyes and wry mouth very similar to Quinland's signed stories in Catman Comics and Exciting Comics #60. He is credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who.

A handful of peaceful farmers stand against an army of murderous thugs who want to drive them from their land.

Indexer Notes

Sultan is credited on pencils on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and some faces with pouchy lines under the eyes in sideview point to him as most probable penciller.
