Fawcett,
Orbit, DC; one final story for Hillman, after writing Sky
Wolf
some years ago; and a new publisher for William Woolfolk: Standard (I
had no
idea he'd worked for them).UPDATE: I couldn't identify the Superman story; darkmark has supplied the citation. The reason I missed it: I had misidentified an earlier script as "Super Manor"—going by the cover, it seems to me now; I IDed most of these in a batch almost two years ago.
Woolfolk has evidently been told there are no more Captain Marvel Jr. stories needed, but this month sees the last Captain Marvel-related story he writes, as Fawcett's reign of comic book publishing nears its end.
"Murderous Cargo" is an instance where, instead of changing a title, Orbit changes a character name: real-life Lucky Luciano becomes fictional Louie Lusto in the published story.

ReplyDeleteScratch that. The Superman story is really "Super Manor" from ACTION COMICS #179.
