Indexer Notes

Pencils:
1) Pencils formerly credited to Joe Kubert, but clearly not him according to Keith Chandler..
2) By consensus of the Mort Meskin Appreciation Page members on Facebook including Steven Brower and John Fallon, the previous Mort Meskin guess for pencils was removed.
3) Kubert is emphatically suggested by Ger Apeldoorn via the error tracker.
