Indexer Notes
Wolverton's splash panel was rejected and replaced by one drawn by an unidentified artist, according to an article in Basil Wolverton's Gateway to Horror #1 (Dark Horse, 1988), which reprinted this story. Speculation as to the artist includes Carl Hubbell, Vern Henkel and Carl Burgos.
