Disclose Notes: The movement of the figures, and the small narrow eyes far apart are identical to the credited Pete Riss story in Adventures into the Unknown (American Comics Group, 1948 series) #21. The splash page has, however, some vague signs of Carl Pfeufer, like pointed gun holsters, dust clouds, double-gun shooting, long boots, and horses.
