\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Who’s Who’s<\/i> credits for John Fischetti started out as just “Fischetti” on Tommy Tomorrow, if I remember correctly, but now encompass any number of 1950s series at DC–most of them inking Curt Swan, going by the list’s matching up with Swan’s series there at the time.<\/p>\n

These four stories at the end of Swan’s run on Tommy Tomorrow look to be inked by someone
\nelse with a heavier brush, and I would think it’s Ray Burnley, who was inking Swan on Gangbusters<\/i>
\nand such. Swan\/Burnley would soon be the art team on Jimmy
\nOlsen<\/i> when that title started up in 1954, and for a number of
\nyears.<\/p>\n

\"Action<\/a><\/div>\n
These tiers from Action 167, 170, and 171 showcase faces finished with a heavier line than I see in the earlier Swan TT stories. What do you think?<\/p>\n

Edmond Hamilton wrote almost all the Tommy Tomorrow stories
\nfrom Action<\/i> 147 to 175 (158 and 172 I don’t think are his) and a few after that, so these four are his scripts.<\/p>\n
