Story Notes
Last Sargon in Sensation. Next appearance in Green Lantern (DC, 1941 series) #37. His replacement by Lady Danger in the following issue is heralded at the end of the story. Inks were previously credited to Paul Reinman, but look more like those of Frank Giacoia. Reinman does not sign the story, which is a tell-tale sign that he is not the sole creator.
