Indexer Notes

Cover pencils and inks credits from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided to the GCD by DC Comics actually credit this cover to Joe Kubert. However, experts such as Robin Snyder (email to the GCD 20 January 2008) feel positive that this is an error, and that the actual artist is Jerry Grandenetti.
