Moses, Part 3

(Continued from Part 2)

After Al Stenzel took over the BOYS' LIFE color comics section account from Johnstone & Cushing (effectively driving them out of business), artist' credits mostly vanished. Which makes it difficult to be sure who illustrated most of the episodes in the 1960's & 70's.   You'd think artists' names would be an important SELLING point to any art-related feature-- wouldn't you?  If anyone can help I.D. the artists involved, I'd really appreciate it!

VERSION 4
October 1964  /  art by LOU FINE
November 1964  /  art by LOU FINE
"The Nativity" was covered in the December 1964 issue.
There was no BIBLE episode in the January 1965 issue.

February 1965  /  art by LOU FINE
March 1965  /  art by LOU FINE
April 1965  /  art by LOU FINE
Inexplicably, the 4th version of "Moses" was only 5 episodes long. This was followed by 6 installments covering "The Parables Of Jesus", before the series started over again with "The Creation".  The 5th version of "Moses" is once again quite long, clocking in at 17 episodes...
