Indexer Notes

Atkinson at the very least clearly rendered the Airplanes in this story. The style perfectly matches her documented work on Wing Tips. It is safe to say that she drew this story.

Indexer Notes

HS speculates on A.C. Hollingsworth for the art, while HW sees signs of Carmine Infantino and/or Art Seymour. JV is uncharacteristically silent.
