The original story was in black and white (with shading). The art on all pages has been extended on the edges to widen them (not by the original artists); that's why many captions are not left-aligned.

Indexer Notes

The original issue says this story was inked by Karl Kesel, but this reprint says Terry Austin. I believe the original, as Kesel was inking all of them at that time. When this story was reprinted in Superman: Rampage (2006), it contains the Kesel credit. Austin might have inked the cover.
