Alex Raymond was previously credited with script, but Don Moore was co-creator and author from the very beginning of the strip. The 1938-08-07 and 1938-08-21 Sundays (unsigned by Raymond) were pencilled and inked by Raymond's assistant Austin Briggs.

The original newspaper page most often carried a title for the following week's strip.
07-31 = The Camouflaged City
08-07 = The Shadow of Ming!
08-14 = A Trap for an Emperor
08-21 = A Dangerous Prisoner!
