Indexer Notes

Nicholas pencils per Martin O'Hearn's blog:
http://martinohearn.blogspot.com/2015/05/who-expected-this-artist-here.html

Possible Giordano pencils were suggested by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo via the Timely/Atlas discussion group. Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr finds Giordano an unlikely candidate as this art is unlike the other three stories in this issue - all of which ARE penciled by Giordano. O'Hearn's observations are astute and probably correct.
