Editor inferred from page 281, Michael Barrier's "Funnybooks" (UC Press, Oakland, 2015): "[Lebeck] was still working for Western in March 1951 ... but he left sometime soon after that. ... His successor, George Brenner, ... held the job only briefly before his death in March 1952. He was succeeded by Matthew H. Murphy."

The rather unmuscular figure under the tree, sketchy hands and inking makes these drawings the work of Maxon. He drew many of the "Young Hawk" stories in Lone Ranger, and some early Tarzan. Also one story in Indian Chief #6.

Disclose Notes: Gaylord Du Bois's Account Books Sorted by Title compiled from the original account books by Randall W. Scott states: "The Copper Knife (synopsis). 16p. For War Eagle. Sent March 5, 1950."

The artwork here is identical to Jon Small's signed stories in this series, Four Color #290, The Chief #2, and Indian Chief #3. The best clue is the heavy inking, and the close up faces, with many thin inklines along the cheekbones and upper lip. Also the scenery, and movement of the figures are similar.
