"Back Alley Girl" and "I Was a Slave to Tradition" were plotted at 2 pages each by William Woolfolk and published at 13 pages and 8, respectively, after Dorothy Woolfolk scripted from the plots.
"Story breakdown" is probably the same as Russell Carley's "script continuity" for Michael Fleisher at DC in the Seventies—helping a writer turn his or her plot into panel-by-panel scenes before the scripting. The scripter noted here, Miles K., would have to be the Miles Cahn with the byline on text fiction pieces in Love Diary 15-16 and The Westerner 35-36. Prescription for Happiness is the recurring short feature whose individual installments are untitled.
UPDATE: darkmark found the Monte Hale bandit stronghold story.

"The Mystery of the Lost Homestead" was in WESTERN HERO #108, not MONTE HALE WESTERN. Haven't tracked the other Monte story, though.
ReplyDeleteGood catch; I've corrected it. I had the story entered under WESTERN HERO on my own index of Fawcett Westerns, but must have been daydreaming here.
ReplyDeleteI'd almost bet that the other Monte story comes from WESTERN HERO #106, but with no copy or data to check, we can't be sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm crossing my fingers for the day when scans of Monte Hale's comics flood the public domain sites, but I probably shouldn't hold my breath at the same time. Who knows, though? I was pleasantly surprised by all those LOVE DIARIES not long ago..
ReplyDelete"The Bandit Stronghold" is indeed from WESTERN HERO #106.
