Indexer Notes

Title taken from contents page.

The eyes with high arched upper lid and some short lines below the outer corners, and sometimes hands with lines between fingers that don't go all the way down, page 2, 4 and 5 are all good signs of Anderson. Compare faces with his credited Red Gaucho story in Master Comics (Fawcett, 1940 series) #11.
