Indexer Notes

Continued next issue. Writer and art credits per Blake Bell and added by Craig Delich 2012-3-15. The splash page states "Created by Stephen A. Douglas", who was an editor at Eastern Color. However, since Everett created at least the visuals for this first appearance, he should be considered at least a co-creator.
