Genre	detective

Pencils	Klaus Nordling?

Notes	Shop - Hames sees Powell on females. An interesting artist, Nordling is just a guess. Has a Jack Hearne feel, but probablly too early.

Inks	Lou Fine [pgs. 1-3];Frank Frollo? [pg. 4]; Charles Wojtkoski [pgs. 5,6]
Notes	Lee seems pretty certain of his IDs, so I went with them. Fine looks okay to me in the beginning. I wouldn't know CW at this stage. Hames also sees Frollo on one page?

7 page Inspector Dayton story "Sung, what are you doing in America? Why..."

Characters	Sung Sin; Wang; Anderson Case; Commissioner Conroy; Patch
Genre	detective
Script	? [as Geo. Thatcher]
Notes	art changes after 4 pages, from okay to poor. Possibly Art Peddy in the begining??? Comparing Powell art on "Sheena" makes it unlikely that he is here UNLESS this is reprinted from much earlier material.

Characters	Mercedes; Fernand Mondego
