It certainly is, and the art is by John Rosenberger and Vince Colletta. We can only guess how much pencil was there before Colletta got out his eraser.

What I find interesting about Kanigher is for someone who did introduce a lot of social concerns into mainstream comics, he rarely seemed to know much about them. But he should at least be given props for trying--in those days anything controversial in comics could harm you, rather than help. At least till Stan Lee managed to get positive publicity out of the Spider-Man drugs story. (which isn't even about illegal drugs, but about the abuse of pills. Though Harry later has a bad acid trip) But Kanigher's brand of liberalism is one peculiar to modern eyes; his attitude about race or gender or the like isn't so much that it doesn't matter, but more along the lines of "it's not their fault they're women/black/etc." But that's probably mostly due to his generation.

Yes, I think Kanigher was sincere and really cared about people, collectively and individually. It didn't mean that he knew what he was talking about, of course. But he meant well. He also tended to write in slogans and go off on impassioned rants where he beat you over the head for twenty pages with "Drunk driving is bad!" or "American Indians got a raw deal!" But I would prefer that to just another uninspired writer going through the motions without being affected by what he was saying. (Say, 80% of comics.)
