Story Notes
Four Sunday pages Information that Zane Grey's son Romer wrote some King of the Royal Mounted stories is from Don Markstein, but specific stories are not listed. <https://www.toonopedia.com/king-rm.htm> He was a prolific author in his own right, and has certainly been credited with writing the Big Little Books featuring the character. In addition, Gaylord Du Bois once claimed in an interview, "In 1939 I worked as a script writer on King of the Royal Mounted, when Jim Gary was doing the art work".(Comics Interview #17 (November 1984))
