Notes	Same art as previous three issues. The penciller is quite good - too good, in my opinion, to be Elkan, although Hames keeps seeing him here. I would concur if restricted to inks.

Notes	Is Elkan here, too? Penciller may be the same but the inks are somewhat cruder. This is about contemporaneous with signed Elkan at Quality. There he takes after Reed Crandall - a style NOT evident here.
