Disclose Notes: This issue was featured on the PBS television show The History Detectives, broadcast Season 9, Episode 4 (July 2011). In the program, historian Shaun Clancy credits Roy Ald with the creation of the concept and says Ald thought Alvin Hollingsworth would be a perfect fit for the comic. However, experts agree that Hollingsworth is not responsible for all of the artwork in this series, as reflected in our recorded credits.
