Notes: This is Mort Leav, with his large hands, lively figures and a special crouching way of running, with thighs lifted high. Dobrotka samples from Superman in Action Comics #69 have no resemblance to these Rusty Ryan stories. Both Mort Leav and Ed Dobrotka, are credited on this feature, but all credited to Dobrotka have to be by Mort Leav.
