The artwork is like a copy of John Prentice and Alex Raymond, and that must be Bob Correa. He exelled in swapping faces and hands from the Rip Kirby stories by these artists, Four Color # 604 '55. Prentice began on Rip Kirby in 1956, so these early copies must be from Raymond. This face is more like them in # 467 '53.
