Disclose Notes: Originally credited "George Harrison?" on pencils and "Clem Weisbecker?" on ink. The artwork, like the rounded inking and especially the apricot-like ears with large rounded outer edge are identical to his signed Boy Buddies story in Hangman #8. So most probably all done by Harrison. Stories signed by Clem/Pen have long narrow faces and ears, with more angular inklines.
