Indexer Notes

Story continued on inside back cover and back cover. Inside back cover is in black and white.
Originally credited to Fred Harman with "?", but the art is by Tony Sgroi. Notice the scowling, angry mouth on some faces, arched cheekbones and "empty" eye soccets, and the very sleek horses with slender legs. All that is Tony Sgroi. He had most of the Range Rider stories, and Young Davy Crockett. Art ID by Steinar Ådland January 2011.
