COVER DETAILS

Pencils: Bob Fujitani ?

Inks: Bob Fujitani ?

Notes: The art is so similar to the cover of #v1n02 that it has to be Fujitani.

STORY DETAILS

(8 Stories)

Title: Man of Texas

Pages: 7.000

Pencils: Paul Reinman ? [as Reinman] (signed)

Inks: Paul Reinman ? [as Reinman] (signed)

Notes: This is so different to Paul Reinman's style during this period that it appears to be another artist altogether. The signature is also at odds with the usual one. But the Who's Who gives no alternative Reinmans.

Title: The Gun Slinger

Pages: 6.000

Pencils: Lawrence Dressler

Inks: Lawrence Dressler

Notes: Dressler is credited to Hillman westerns in 1948-50 by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and his art is different from most other artists in this series, more like pen and ink in book illustrations, and it match so well with a Dressler credited story in Tales of Terror #2, that this most likely is his work.

Title: The Hash-Knife Brand

Pages: 7.000

Pencils: Bob Jenney

Inks: Bob Jenney

Notes: Bob Jenney is credited to both pen and ink in Hillman comics by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, but strangely not on westerns. This art has so many similarities with Jenney, like faces, flap-over holsters and particularly the horses on page 3. They are none other than Jenney's. It is strange however, that his inking in Dell's Cisco Kid in the 1950's was not as elaborate as this from 1948. In the Jenney filler inside of the front cover of Cisco Kid #2 is a gun holster exactly like the on seen here on page 2.
