- Letters: Joe Letterese
Story Notes
Shores pencils and Rule inks per Michael J. Vassallo. Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr notes: I don't think Shores is here. The layouts are all wrong and much too simplified to be his. I believe this is Rule taking over the art chores for this issue. Letters: Letterese credited by Haydn. Letterese's wide letter D's is a stylistic mark of his handwriting - compare his credited work in Inferior Five (DC, circa 1967)

Story Notes
Shores pencils and Rule inks per Michael J. Vassallo. Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr notes: I don't think Shores is here. Rule is copying Shores figures so it looks a bit like him, but he's staging them in layouts that just aren't right. Nick Caputo believes this is Shores penciling.

Story Notes
Shores pencils and Rule inks per Michael J. Vassallo. Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr notes: I'm probably going to ruffle Doc V's feathers with this last issue's credits, but I just can't see Shores doing such minimal layouts and simplified storytelling - despite all the "tells" that show up pointing towards his style. I think Rule is a damn good mimic when he wants to be. Letters: Kuramoto credited by Haydn.
