Indexer Notes

Buscema pencils per Nick Caputo. Bill Richardson (February 6, 2008) credits John Romita based on the signed original art and confirmed by John Romita but after the poses and figures are indicative of Sal Buscema's style. Nick believes Romita provided the cover layout and some alterations, likely the background figures.
