Speed 20 -- Kirby pencils.  Kirby's art is dynamic, giving you a sense of action & motion, like with the circular motion of the kid's rifle.

Speed 23 -- Simon pencils.  Awkward design with stiffly posed lead figure.

Airboy -- Kirby layout.  No particular reason,  that is the dramatic feeling I get when looking at it.

Thanks!

That cover is a reprint from another MLJ comic.  The splash is signed by Paul Reinman in Pep 32.

I do see similarities, though Meskin seemed to have his human proportions down by 1946.

Kane also has good proportions, though he noticeably tended to draw the hand area of the arms as if being smaller than the rest of the arm, as if it’s more deflated/bonier, regardless of how old or muscular the character is.
