The inking here does not resemble Butts' other stories in this series, but the realistic horses are identical in shape. Also the girl's face is quite similar. The inking is much more flowing than Butts stiff rendering in the other stories. The art resembles Butts work on the Fawcett "Motion Picture Comics: Copper Canyon" credited to Butts by Jerry Bails.

Boyd Magers has Clem Weisbecker as artist on Rod Cameron, but signed Clem work in "Black Hood Comics" #9 does not have anything in common with the art on this story. Clems crude horses in credited work in "Jungle Girl" #1, featuring Nyoka, are nowhere near the horses here.
