Indexer Notes
Credits for Maggin on script and Grell on pencils and inks confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics.
However, in the book "Mike Grell: Life Is Drawing Without an Eraser", Mike Grell says his pencils for this issue were based on thumbnail layouts by Bernie Wrightson. Grell is also under the impression Wrightson plotted the story.
