Disclose Notes: Cataldo is credited on both pencil and ink on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and the eyes and eyebrows of faces, and the little akward way of standing point to him. Some copying from Hogarth's Tarzan. Cataldo is very often mixed up with Ruben Moreira, but this is only Cataldo. Compare the signed Cataldo story in issue #17, and there is no difference. Only one face on page 7 is like Moreira. He is not credited as working for McCombes, and his body movements are much more writhing and twisting with long arms and legs as in Kaänga.
