JVJ (RIP):
Here's some more:
Real West Romances
#1:
Medicine Show - pencils by someone like Win Mortimer or Art Peddy. Inks probably by Bernard Sachs (maybe his pencils, too?).
Chuck Wagon Jane - any possibility that Premiani is inking this?
Heart Rustler - VERY puzzling. Signs of Simon, Donahue Roussos, Premiani, Stein, etc. Nice work like page 2 panel 4 opposed with terribly-drawn horses like in page 4 panel 3. Many heads don't really fit the bodies. The only person I DON'T see here is Kirby.
#2:
Heart Broken Bronco Buster is primarily Bernard Sachs. There may be some other penciler under him here, but he's obliterated him.
Dead-Game Dude - Draut pencils, but inks maybe by Belfi or maybe even Premiani. The inker is a good artist, too.
Rough-House Annie - solid Donahue story. An under-rated artist.
Family Feud - same artist as in that Headline #33, but NOW I know who it is: Ann Brewster! Positively her inks, probably her pencils - or else George Gregg's.
#3:
In Love With His Ranch Boss - Draut's pencils, too.
Love at the County Fair - someone is inking Donahue here, perhaps Bill Elder???
Our Love Wore Six Guns - This is George Gregg.
#4:
The Perfect Cowboy - Marvin Stein pencils, Simon and shop inks. I don't see Kirby. When Jack inks stuff, he turns it into KIRBY. You can't see another penciler under a Kirby ink job.
Lovin' or Feudin' - Probably Draut P&I. Def. his pencils.
Cupid's Corral - I agree, Severin & probably Elder, but why didn't they sign? I think addition inkers on first few pages.
Bartered - S&K shop inks on Donahue.
The Yearling Years - pure Premiani.
#5:
Mail-Order Romance - probably Premiani aping what he considers Kirby and inks by Simon and Shop. I don't see the Kirby you're indicating.
Tenderfoot in Love - Gorgeous pure Meskin. Even signed.
Bordertown Lover - No doubt that it's Draut, and almost certainly his own inks.
Glamour in the Great Outdoors - Again, Draut pencils but different inks. Kirby seems to have had a hand in the "instructional panel".
Yellow - no doubt that it's Starr, but is he inking, too? If not, who?
#6:
Ella Mae! - yes, Starr.
A Killin'... - Premiani again. Very distinctive when he inks his own stuff.
Lies, Love... - subtle signs of Roussos in the inks.
Broadway Buckaroo - certainly Starr again, but perhaps inked by Frank Bolle?
#7:
No Man's Land - Premiani
Gal for Goliath - Starr pencils. Starr and ? inks
Loves of a Navaho Princess - Art Peddy pencils. S&K Studio inks. No Kirby.
Cowboy with a Complex IS Marvin Stein pencils and I see some Premiani in the inks along with S&K Studio hands.
There you go. (|:{>

I will... there are a few I think I should know, but just can't place. Like the artist who did The Pianist
--- End quote ---
This one I just don't know. I'll think on it. It does remind me a bit of Joe Gagliardi - but he doesn't have comic credits at this time... Hmmm?
--- Quote --- and Dream Love in Young Brides #22. Or maybe the guy who did the second story just did the inking? It looks like Severin inked by Starling and I know it isn't. He/they also did That Manning Boy in #23.
--- End quote ---
Both are Carl Pfeufer (of Funnies, Inc. and Fawcett fame). How the mighty have fallen.
--- Quote ---
And then there is the artist who did Slum Girl in YB #15 looks familiar as well. He also ends up doing some very quick and sloppy work in later issues of Young Romance...
--- End quote ---
Looks like Jack Abel? and Bernard Sachs
--- Quote ---
And who is that guy who draws as if it's Roy Lichtenstein copying Jack Kirby on the two page Dan Wilson story in YB #23? He also turns up in the later romance books, when Kirby himself was back as well.
--- End quote ---
We think that this might be a guy named Milt Knopf, but I can't find the ONE place where he signed...
--- Quote ---
And while we are at it... who is the artist who is all over the early romance and crime books doing some sort of fat Jack Davis like inking and who's most telling trait to me are the scalloped shadown inbetween the fingers? Could it be Carmine Infantino? He often works together with Broderick/and or that artist that gives everyone button noses.
--- End quote ---
Is this an inker or a penciler? Give me a specific that is typical.
--- Quote ---
I'd love to see your records, because there are so many holes still...
--- End quote ---
I just looked at my Prize cards and I'm embarrassed by the major gaps in my keeping them up. We'll have to rely on my (gasp!) memory...
Peace, Jim (}:{>

Sworn Enemies - Draut inks, too.
Kissless Cowboy - I thinks inks are too "soft" for Elder

Troublemaker! - Vic Donahue w/Simon and S&K shop touchups
Kathy & The Merchant of Sunset - This may be early Marvin Stein & S&K Shop inks
#3:
Wife Wanted - Premiani
The Blue Blood... - I'm pretty sure this is Jon Small, who becomes more and more evident as the pages progress.

#5:
Dead Ringer - This HAS to be Marvin Stein pencils and Simon inks. They are REALLY trying to convince us that Kirby is involved.
Survival - some Elder inks, but primarily not.
Barn Dance - THIS is S&E.
Rangers and Fire Maiden - Still Donahue, but some weird inks
Cowboy Romeo - Meskin & Meskin, I believe
Two Can Play That Game - somebody's working hard to convince us that Kirby is here, but it's all fake. I don't know who, but I do know it ain't Jack. It is all fake and swipes.
Lilly's Last Stand - I think Meskin and Roussos.
If you agree with these, now you can update your list and send me a new copy with more modern data. Okay?
Peace, Jim (|:{>
Ger Apeldoorn:
Thanks, Jim.
I will answer you personally. As I said, these are some pretty early records and I don't think I am ready to go public with them yet. I really should let the GCD people know that when I put down a name in brackets it is a pretty personal guess, so they should really put it in with a question mark. At least your lists will a. get some of the kinks out and b. help me revisit the books.
Bob Hughes:
Ger when you say you've sent this stuff to the GCD, do you mean the error list? I can take a look for it this weekend and see what I can push through.
