I know these have Rex Stout's name, but I wonder if he used a ghostwriter to do them. They just don't seem very Wolfe-like.

It is believed, Dave, that the first nine or ten months of the strip was scripted by John Broome. By August, 1957 this duty had passed to Ed Herron. But the PDF at the link below contains a letter from Stout showing that as of late January '57 he was being shown advance strips and providing critiques. Did he continue to have input? Don't know!
