Where There's Smoke

Credits
Jerry Robinson pencils signed Bob Forgione inks unsigned (Signed Robinson, but predominantly Bob Forgione. - Frank Wilmot
Bob Forgione was a student of Robinson's evening classes and worked with him later in the fifties or even sixties. There is a similarity in their styles, mainly in the long small noses. His this similarity is very visible. So much so, that I wonder if Forgione didn't assist Robinson on this (and maybe other) stories. - Ger A.)
