Then reality sets back in and the heroes force the monster off a cliff to his apparent doom.

Artist revision from Jack Binder to Mike Suchorsky by Craig Delich 2011-1-2 per Suchorsky interview with Hames Ware & Jim Vadeboncouer, Jr. in the pages of Alter Ego #27 (August, 2003), which reprinted the splash page from this story.

- Buck Sanders (first appearance)
Indexer Notes
Art was previously attributed to Munson Paddock, but the art is distinctly different from the Buck Saunders art in Headline Comics #13-18 (1945-1946), which more closely resembles Paddockâs general style, such as the use of big eyes, long noses, and starry visuals for energetic movement.
