    Many thanks for this one, Dave! Benjamin "Stookie" Allen was later known for his WWII battlefield illos and some minor page-length features in the comics. You can learn more about this all-but-forgotten talent here: http://lambiek.net/artists/a/allen_stookie.htm

    I agree, the art on these is always great, the stories sometimes interesting. Didn't know that about old Stook, Richard.
