Pencils credit is disputed. Curt Swan has been suggested, as has Murphy Anderson.
Swan pencils per Nick Caputo, noting in particular Felix Faust's face and the Flash and Batman's poses.
David B believes the pencils to be Anderson’s, having analyzed the cover without finding evidence of Swan’s work. Credit for originating this attribution may belong to Mark Gruenwald, who, in “The Justice League Reader” (published in Amazing World of DC Comics #14), listed the credit as “cover by Anderson” (1977, 14). More recently, DC Comics, in three different reprintings of the cover, has credited only Anderson with “cover” or “cover art,” or as “cover artist”: Showcase Presents: Justice League of America Volume 5 (2011, 2); Justice League of America Archives Volume Ten (2012, 3); and Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus Volume 1 (2017, 5).
However, a subsequent reprinting in Justice League of America: The Last Survivors of Earth in 2019 credited the cover to Swan and Anderson. That collection corrects other known JLA cover credit errors that appeared in The Bronze Age Omnibus and other earlier reprintings. Since DC deliberately changed the credit from Anderson to Swan/Anderson, it lends credence to the fact that DC believes that Swan was involved with this cover.
