Story Notes

Story title from Dick Sabo. Writer credit by Art Lortie. Pencils credit per R. Gary Land, Gene Reed, Craig Delich, Merlin Haas, and John Fallon (via the GCD Error Tracker). Inks credit per Gene Reed. Jerry Bails and Link Yaco have Irwin Hasen on pencils and Joe Giella. Keith Chandler : I don't see Gil Kane here, although I cannot pinpoint the penciller, except to observe that some of the awkward figure postures are reminiscent of Mike Sekowsky. Benard Sachs has been deleted and relaced by John Giunta, who inks most, if not all of the piece, except for Joe Giella, who inks Astra's face.
