Notes

The artwork on "Jesse James' Deadliest Deeds!" is signed Marcus + Mastroserio, and this story is exactely identical. Notice the mane of the running horses bristling upwards, and the thin lines in the faces with a marked cheekbone. Also the identical hats with short, wide slanting lines in front.
