Story Notes
Appears to be Eisner layouts or influence. But the "shop" is the "artist" and you can already see why it's so tough to sort them out...Though it's very early one could see future traces of Zolne, Cardy and even Bryant if one wanted to...

Story Notes
This is a true shop job again...but this time unlike the Spencer Steel work, it contains some elements seen in the "Powell-Henkel" style [see ZX-5 in issue 6] described earlier. There is a license plate that has R-B on it but other than Bob Bugg no other link came to mind in style.
