Disclose Notes: Art identification based on Stoner’s signed covers for The Funnies #56 (June, 1941) and Blackstone Master Magician Comics #3 (July, 1946). Similarities include muscular protagonists with curly hair, big dimples, and wide smiles showing teeth. Stoner also tends to draw women with long hair that rolls up at the bottom.
