Indexer Notes

Adaptation of the opera by Richard Wagner.

The script was updated for the re-publication of this sequence in Parsifal (Star*Reach, 1978 series), and the lettering was at least in part, or may have been completely redone. The original letterer for this sequence, Annette Kawecki, is still credited after Tom Orzechowski for that issue as a whole.
