Signed "TEX" alongside the left boot of the nearest rider. He is not credited to western at Charlton by Jerry Bails' Who's, but the artwork compares well with signed (Tex Blaisdell) work on "Prairie Kate" in St. John's "The Texan" #9.

Lee Sherman is not credited to Cowboy Western by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and comparing his art in the signed story in #18, there can be no doubt. He is credited to Charlton's Tim McCoy Comics.

Only Harmon is credited on Charlton's Paul Bunyan by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. The inking is not exactly identical to the signed story in #19, but near enough to be likely.

There appears to be a signature in the lower right corner, which is hard to read but appears to be "L.B."?
As the art is identical to Lee Sherman's work, the signature most probably is "L.S".
