Notes:
Saltarella says the facial expressions and body positioning, especially on the splash page, looks like Peter Costanza. The inking work is similar to C. A. Winter or Fred Guardineer, but there were several creators in the 1950s with similar styles.
The Digital Comic Museum scan of this issue includes a creator index card from Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr. that identified the artists by the code name "DAV2" which he believes to be either Earl Da Voren or D. Grant with Bob Butts or Hing Chu. Tony Rose suggests that it is unlikely to be Da Voren because he is only known to have worked for Ace on Super-Mystery Comics (1940 series), thinks it might be Winter instead.
