Story Notes

Writer (Gardner Fox) and art credits are from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics. However, "John Osgood" is a pseudonym used by John Broome at both DC and Fawcett, so it is possible that the Fox credit (the only known instance of Fox using this pseudonym) in the Schwartz records is in error. Until further analysis of the script is undertaken, the authorship of this story is in question.
