Letters: Sam Rosen?

From Comics Interview #7, David Anthony Kraft interviewing Joe Rosen (Sam's
older brother). Joe said, in part:

"[George] Mandel introduced Sam to the big letterer of the time, Howard
Ferguson, who was working for both Timely and Fox. Fox was Ferguson’s lesser
account, and soon he gave it to Sam."

The issue is cover-dated February 1942. Sam Rosen would have been 19 (as per
Alex Jay's research, he was born in April 1922). Though the lettering is
broader than he would be doing a few years later, his distinctive J's and
diagonal exclamation points are already very much in evidence.
