Reprint Notes
Notes Artist revision from Ruben Moreira to Moldoff by Craig Delich 2013-5-11, per Bob Hughes. The Who's Who does not indicate Moreira doing art on this feature, but Busy Arnold states that Moreira did do some pencils on early Kid Eternity stories. This art, however, according to Hughes, is definitely not by Moreira.
