Disclose Notes: Possible art identification by Saltarella (December 2016). Suggested Mac Raboy on pencils and inks.

Keith Chandler : An interesting suggestion, but given Raboy's painstaking and turtle-paced art production, coupled with a full complement of Captain Marvel Junior stories and covers appearing in Fawcett comics at the same date, and the uncharacteristic hard-angled faces in this story, I sincerely doubt it.
