The TIM TYLER’S LUCK piece signed by Lyman Young is probably by his “ghost” Nat Edson. Edson worked with Young for many years and also drew the Standard TIM TYLER comic books in the 40s.

These were great…thanks for sharing particularly the art of Louis Biedermann . I had no idea who he was or that he was responsible for so much art.
