Indexer Notes

The faces of some characters, with large noses and visible teeth must be Sultan's work.

Indexer Notes

Last appearance of Dynamic Boy [Kent Banning]; he is not Dynamic Man's later partner.

Madden is credited on Dynamic Boy by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and some of the the grotesque faces with long fangs and a special cheek bone line, and also the peculiar leg work are all identical to Madden's work on the signed story of Mother Hubbard in Bulls Eye Comics #11.

Initials "WM" appear on a radio station microphone on page 3.
