Andru and Esposito credits per Nick Caputo, with Keith Chandler also agreeing to Esposito inks via the GCD Error Tracker. We previously credited the art to Irv Novick, and before that Andru and Esposito. Cover has Wonder Woman incorrectly referring to her homeland as "Amazon Island" instead of "Paradise Island."

Here the Mermen are called the Amazons' ancient enemies, although later stories show friendly relations between the two nations. We for a time credited the inks on this story to Kurt Schaffenberger per an error report from Saltarella. However, all involved in a discussion on the GCD-Main list agreed it was not Schaffenberger, though it was also not Harry Peter as we originally had either.
