Alex Raymond was previously credited with script, but Don Moore was co-creator and author from the very beginning of the strip. Nor is there any evidence for Raymond lettering his own strip.

The original newspaper page most often carried a title for the following week's strip.
09-25 = Hunted Men
10-02 = A Traitor's Reward
10-09 = Surrounded
10-16 = River of Peril
