Story Notes

Data from Jerry Bails and Bob Hughes. R. Gary Land argued that this was not Emil Gershwin's work, but Gene Reed confirmed it as Gershwin, with the difference in the artwork being due to it being inked by Bernard Sachs and not by Gershwin. Keith Chandler sees the clean classical lines of Gershwin in all the inking except the heads of Lady Danger, which is Sachs.
