Stories

The Death Of Duke Sims

Credits
Robert Q. Sale pencils signed Charles Nicholas pencils attributed (Interesting that though this is signed by Sale it appears to be penciled by Charles Nicholas. An earlier unsigned story in Crime Cases #27 (March 1951) had this same dual feel to it. This is August 1951. I usually don't have trouble ID'ing R.Q. Sale and have never mixed him up with Nicholas before. - JVJ) Robert Q. Sale inks signed
