Notes: [This] has an Eisner-esque influence. Particularly the splash. Can't say who the inker is but doesn't look like Ernie Bache. - Frank Motler

Notes: [This] is obviously a pre-hero prototype (villain) & sshould ttreble in vvalue, overnight! Really nice story, actually. Longer than usual for Atlas. - Frank Motler
