Originally credited Paul Reinman, but there are none of his wedge shaped faces with eyes far apart and out of line. It could be Harry Lucey, when comparing with his signed stories in #26.

Originally credited to Lin Streeter. Compare with Streeter's Danny in Wonderland in this issue, many faces in front view with funny ears. Al Camy is not difficult to spot, small angular faces with snaring mouth, like in his many signed Black Hood stories.
