Sal Trapani and his ghost pencillers come aboard for ACG's final two years of operation. Bill Ely is his sole ghost there for nine stories as of the 1967-dated issues. Ely's regular assignment at DC,
Rip Hunter, ended in late 1965.
My impression is that Rocco Mastroserio penciled the first page of "The Mirror of Mystery"; Dick Giordano certainly did the remaining three. What do you think?
There were six other Ditko/Trapani stories at ACG after "My Ancestor—the Indian Scout," all credited to both artists, so not on these lists of ghosted ones. I daresay that Richard Hughes said "Oh, come
on!" to the idea that the readers wouldn't recognize that particular penciller. (For what it's worth, after ghosting the pencils on
Nukla1 at Dell, Giordano gets a signature along with Trapani's on #2 and 4, as does Ditko on #4.)

Interestingly enough, there's an ACG story ghosted
byrather than for Sal Trapani. The art on the other new story in
Unknown Worlds 53 is credited solely to Bob Jenney, but Trapani is inking Jenney's pencils.
