Reprint Notes:

Pages: 8
Disclose Notes: Continued from previous issue.

The Fitz by-line puzzles me. The Who's Who states that Fitz was an artist at Lev Gleason in 1941-42 who did various features, but the Who's Who also lists Everett as the sole artist.....and this story is clearly by him.

Continued next issue.
