For the record, Warren,
the first and fourth stories at this link are by Novick, the second is Giacoia inks with lots of help on the pencils, and the third, obviously, by Powell. I could go on and on about the fifth one. Some other time.

josemas:
Given all the stories about Giacoia's procrastinating and always having to call in buddies to help him on deadlines with penciling and inking it must make it difficult to spot him at times (or at least confusing).

Ger Apeldoorn:
Although I do feel we don't have to apply all the comments of his work habits in the late fifties and early sixties to his work in the early fifties...

brush:
Thanks guys for all the insightful responses!! :)

If Irv Novick was indeed the artist for GI Joe V2 #10 (1952); in particular "Weepy's Christmas" and "The Tigress Returns" -- In my opinion, his pencils were greatly enhanced by Frank Giacoia's bold and gritty brushstrokes!!

Here's a link to an issue of GI JOE that I particularly enjoyed (i.e., poignant story+ bold/gritty artwork):

"With love, Mom" from GI Joe v2 018 (1952 winter) part 2 (100 pg giant).

Warren

JVJ (RIP):
Also a Novick story, Warren,
Inks might be Giacoia, but I don't see him here as much. These ALMOST look like Romita???!!! Very hard to say on inkers, but Novick is for sure. He did TONS of stuff on G.I. Joe.
