Originally credited to Sam Cooper. The art is similar to Warren's signed Fox story. Many faces and figures popping in from the panel borders at an angle, and slender women, are all earmarks of his work.

A very doubtful Novick credit, as the art don't look much like his work. It looks similar to the Penny Parker stories in #14 and 15, and they have an unreadable signature that is not Irv Novick.
