Credits for script confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics. The records credit Continuity Studios with the pencils and inks. When asked about this, Bob Rozakis said: "[Martinez and Mazzaroli] were South American artists that Neal Adams convinced Julie Schwartz to give a try. You might notice that some of the character heads look like Neal did them rather than Martinez and Mazzaroli."
