Craig Delich I made the change from Raymond Perry to ? for the colorist. While Perry colored perhaps 90% of the DC golden age stories, we don't know for certain he did this one. 2009-12-24 20:58:46 Editing Editing

Henry Andrews Sending back as requested until the Perry question is resolved. The system will record that you changed the inker credit on this date, but if you think it's important to explain the source of that particular change (i.e. you) in the notes then I'm fine with that. Everything else is fine (as is that note, I just thought I'd point it out). 2009-12-25 21:30:54 Under Review Editing
