Indexer Notes
The Crusty Bunkers credit is from Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner via email with the original indexer. Bob Wiacek noted on his Facebook page that this was his first work as a Crusty Bunker, confirming his work here.
The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide states that Neal Adams did some of the inking for this story. Adams was with Crusty Bunkers. Nick Caputo suspects Neal worked primarily on the Doctor Strange figures.
