Story Notes
The Parasite's real name is given only as Jensen in this issue.

Story Notes
Script was previously attributed to Leo Dorfman with “?†indicating uncertainty. Bridwell script credit appeared in a fan newsletter preceding publication of this issue (Kaler [1966?], 2). Dorfman credit accompanying a reprint of this story (DC 2018, 6) was likely based entirely on GCD’s erroneous credit. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ References: DC Comics. 2018. *Supergirl: The Silver Age Omnibus vol. 2. *Burbank, CA: DC Comics.
