By "editorial work," I would think Woolfolk means rewriting. "My Cruel Lover" is not a title recorded in earlier months, but other editorial work has been paid at $12.50 a page, and this, like a later Wanted revision that I can recognize as a Woolfolk to begin with (in fact "Cult of Killers"), is paid at $10.

And if anyone has a copy of WHIZ #153, scan it and get it to the Digital Comic Museum post haste!
ReplyDeleteYes--you can see that on other Junior and Ibis stories I've been adding the hero's name to the title if that's the way it's presented, but I haven't seen the WHIZ 153 Ibis story to confirm if it was done there.
ReplyDeleteMartin, I am rather puzzled why Woolfolk's DC credits for the 1940s/early 1950s (according to the GCD) aren't showing up in his personal records.
ReplyDeleteUnless the GCD, or its contributors have it wrong?
Lee, since the GCD sometimes doesn't tell where the attributions came from, I'll have to admit that a number of those were picked up from my earliest attempts at author-spotting. Anything not on these records should be discounted. I believe there's mainly one scripter--not one of the ones known to be there like Edmond Hamilton or Alvin Schwartz--whose work I lumped in with Woolfolk's.
