The Who’s Who’s 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.
These four stories at the end of Swan’s run on Tommy Tomorrow look to be inked by someone
else with a heavier brush, and I would think it’s Ray Burnley, who was inking Swan on Gangbusters
and such. Swan/Burnley would soon be the art team on Jimmy
Olsen when that title started up in 1954, and for a number of
years.
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?
Edmond Hamilton wrote almost all the Tommy Tomorrow stories
from Action 147 to 175 (158 and 172 I don’t think are his) and a few after that, so these four are his scripts.
