The art on Dell's
TV tie-in
Gentle Ben
is an interesting progression across the issues: Henry Scarpelli on #1,
José Delbo on #2, Scarpelli inking Delbo on #3—and
then on
#4 someone who was not the Dell stalwart that they were. The name of
the mystery artist fell into place when I came
back to
look at that issue after finding Carl Pfeufer at Dell on one 2-issue title:
The
Courtship
of Eddie's Father.

All the stories in the 5-issue run (the last one a reprint,
because of course Dell) of
Gentle
Ben
were written by D. J. Arneson.
His
trademark "Great Scot" is in a few of them, and his use of ellipses
instead of hyphens in stuttered words—"B...but" rather than
"B-but"—in
most.
