Notes: Some faces on page 2 have the look of Pete Riss faces, a V-shape with eyes a bit far apart and also very static expressions and movements. The inking is not like his signed story in My Romantic Adventures (American Comics Group, 1956 series) #56.

Pages: 8

Notes: Originally credited "Witmer Williams ?", but he has quite different faces with very bushy eyebrows and small mouth, narrow undistinct eyes and larger, rounded jaw. Compared with Leav's signed story in Power Comics #4, everything matches, face of the policeman, large hands, way of running with high lifted knees and some panels without backgrounds. Different inking.
