Notes: Al Bryant has shorter figures with more rounded faces than this. It look more like Zolnerowich's figures with long torso and special way of walking and running. The inking looks more like Fuji with the narrower female faces with gaping mouth than Bryant, page 4 and 5. The grinning faces of the villains with marked smiling cheeks look like Fuji too. Uncertain credits.

Notes: Originally credited to Al Bryant, but the pencil work is by Zolne with his very peculiar drawling way of walking, page 2 and 3. Like in many of his Black X stories. He is credited on both pencils and ink, but inking is a bit different from his signed stories using much more thin penlines.

Pages: 14

Notes: Originally credited "Bill Ward?". Page 2 and 8 has a figure leaning forward from the hips and with stretched neck like Zolne. The butler entering the room on page 5 moves his legs in a shuffling way, and the bent knees of Darrel on page 12 are all signs of Zolne. He is credited on both pencils and ink, but inking a bit different from his signed story in Fight Comics #15.
