Indexer Notes

Starr can be spotted by his faces with broad mouth, smiling cheeks, and a fondness for drawing gloves on most of his characters. Also the "porcupine" mustachios are his.

Indexer Notes

Moritz is credited on various features for ACG by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. He had most of the Injun Jones stories in Blazing West and in this series. He can be best recognized by his peculiar lines inside the ears, and also horses with small gaping heads and many thin inklines on the body. The thin inklines appear on close up faces too.
