Disclose Notes: This artwork is very similar to Charles Sultan, as can be seen in Blazing West #18, Buffalo Belle. Sultan also had the Jinx Jordan story in Crime Reporter #1, so it is likely that this is him too.

Some have credited this story to Warren Kremer, but compared to a signed Kremer story, Frisco Mary in Crime Must Pay the Penalty #3, that is not very likely as Kremer's work looks more like Elias or Robbins, with more inking than this.
