Indexer Notes
Jack Kirby redrew the creature on pages 4-6, with the exception of page 5, panel 3. Info per Nick Caputo's Blog: https://nick-caputo.blogspot.com/2013/05/jack-kirby-steve-ditko-and-that-o…
Previous indexer credited George Roussos on inks but Nick Caputo notes that Ditko inked all his stories in the 1950s and was experimenting with different techniques in this early period.
