Most probable Whitman. Face of Firehair in profile and figure match his art in Jungle Comics #132, and eyes of the indian, and also the horses. He is credited on covers for Fiction House by Jerry Bails' Who's Who.

Notes
title from cover
Originally credited "Bob Lubbers?", but not his faces or figures. Compare with his stories in Firehair #11. Webb and Disbrow are credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and the close up face on page 4 is by Disbrow. Most probably him as inker and Webb as penciller.
Script credit suggested by the Who's Who.

Originally credited "Bob Lubbers?", but not his faces or figures. Compare with his stories in Firehair #11. Webb and Heames are credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and art is like their work on several Classics Illustrated stories. Probably them.

Notes
Originally credited "Bob Lubbers?", but not his faces or figures. Compare with his stories in Firehair #11. Webb and Heames are credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and art is like their work on several Classics Illustrated stories. Probably them. Some faces with large mouth and wild eyes look like Jay Disbrow on pages 3 and 4.
