Alex Raymond was previously credited with script, but Don Moore was co-creator and author from the very beginning of the strip. The 1938-07-24 Sunday (unsigned by Raymond) was pencilled and inked by Raymond's assistant Austin Briggs.

The original newspaper page most often carried a title for the following week's strip.
07-03 = Wiped Out!
07-10 = To the Rescue!
07-17 = Out of the Depths
07-24 = Undersea Tomb
