Judging by that miniature job number, this really is a page from a Standard comic book.
IF it is "Exciting War", it must be numbers 5 or 6.
These are not indexed on GCD and not scanned here.
As to who the artist is, I am fazed.
I'm currently going through Standard horror books and this does not strike me as familiar.
Jim V. might know.
But I am planning to get these books from him to scan in autumn.
With a little patience the mystery will be cleared at the end of the year...

Lee's Comics has issue 5 for sale if anyone is interested. I contacted Lee and the story does not appear in 5 so that leaves 6 or unpublished.

Nice of Lee to confirm it wasn't in #5.  Points to him for his help.

It's in #6 and the artist's name is Witmer Williams, though I'd never have guessed this was him. Didn't know that he'd worked for Standard.

Good info to add to your database Jim. May help with some others from that period.
