Disclose Notes: Art originally credited to Don Rico, but his signed Black X stories in Smash Comics #51 and #53, and his credited G-2 story in the previous issue are drawn much more simply than this story, so it is not by him. The eyes with iris and pupil are more similar to Jack Spranger's credited Captain Triumph stories, but there is no signed work to confirm this. His credited stories are mostly uncertain. Compared with Zansky's Classics Illustrated work - this appears to be him. Zansky is credited with work on this feature in Bails' Who's Who.
