Story Notes

Art identification by Saltarella. Keith Chandler, on the other hand, states that the art is a mish-mash of styles and appears to be at least partially laid out by Mort Meskin, with possible assistance from Joe Kubert, especially on page 4, and that some of the female heads, at least, appear to be inked by Oksner. Meskin expert Steven Brower denies the Meskin attribution, however.

Story Notes

Previous appearance in Exciting Comics (Standard, 1940 series) #49. This is the last appearance of this feature. Kara is wearing a very different costume than the one she usually wears. Inks previously credited to Al Camy, but Saltarella says the "faces and anatomic details [are a] dead giveaway" that Ingels is the inker.
