Indexer Notes
A digitized picture from the Ezra Jack Keats Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi shows Keats working in a studio with Mark Swayze, C.C. Beck, and Dave Berg drawing Captain Marvel stories. The splash page and second page of this story can be seen on Keats drawing table being referenced for what looks like a paste-up drawing (see: https://usm.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/IO_c862af24-fad0-4f42-afac…, retrieved 19 March 2021).
