Signed in panel 3 on (last) page 15. Also included under the signature is "30" which is typographical shorthand in journalism for "End" indicating that Anderson knew this was the last Atomic Knights story he would illustrate. This is the last Atomic Knights story despite an enticement at the very end of the story "Watch for another exciting Atomic Knights adventure in a forthcoming issue of Strange Adventures".
