Page 1 of this story is all new, and not part of the original comic (Warlock #15). No credits are given for the artwork.

There are a couple of errors on this new title page. 1) The story is titled Part III but should be Part II; 2) Steve Leialoha is listed in the credits but did not work on this story.
