Notes:
This story is the one chapter of a five-chapter affair that clearly shows to have all been drawn by the same hand. The lettering is the same throughout; as is the panel composition and the rendering of figures and faces. Chapters 4 and 5 were signed by Sid Check. Whitman had previously been assigned tentative credit for chapters 1-3 on the basis of little more than the fact that he did the cover for the book and the first three chapters were unsigned. A comparison with Whitman's other signed work--such as for Nyoka the Jungle Girl--bears little in common with the work in this issue. This also makes it highly unlikely that Joe Gill scripted the story, as it was almost certainly part of the inventory Charlton purchased in 1954-1955 from either Magazine Enterprises or Toby.

Notes:
Previously the story was attributed to Joe Gill; based on the fact that this entire five-chapter story appears to have been inventory material purchased by Charlton from either Magazine Enterprises or Toby during 1954-1955 that attribution is very unlikely.
