Disclose Notes: Battefield is credited with pencils and inks in Devil's Dagger story in Master Comics #8, and that art is similar to this story. The faces of the villains are exact matches, long chin, small eyes and long noses. Also notice the face in sideview in the Battefield scan on Jerry Bails' Who's Who from Target comics with pencils by Battefield, and from the same period.

Disclose Notes: Duca and Binder are both credited on this feature for 1940 by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. The six first stories are different from the Mac Raboy stories that follow, and the first three are a little distinct from the three next. The hairline of Zoro is more consistent in the first ones, and the ears are a bit different too, rather long and few dark lines inside. Also the face of the girl is different, more feminine than the three Binder stories, and the inking has more even lines. Duca is not indexed in any story, so the only way to pin him is this way, to find what differs in the six first non-Raboy stories. He has two stories in Slam-Bang Comics and this one in Master Comics.
