In Content Item: FlagThe Bill Everett Archives #2 published September 2013
as The Fence and the Frameup [Story on Interior Page(s)]
Reprint Notes:  
Miscellaneous
Pages: 6
Disclose Notes: Problem: The strip is signed by Paul Quinn (in addition to Everett), who was an artist at Funnies, Inc. circa 1940-41, doing comic book work at Timely and Hillman before leaving comics in 1943 (going with Magellan). The art on this story looks to be totally by Everett, so unsure why Quinn's name is on this strip. The Who's Who doesn't indicate that Quinn worked at Novelty Press.

Art also signed "Everett" in the last panel.
