Cover credits confirmed 2006 by Al Milgrom: "Despite signature, it was Byrne inked by me (Byrne doing a Ditko pastiche for reprint edition, I believe--and there were 3 or 4 of 'em.) John didn't sign the cover, so I added our signatures--and for no good reason, I inadvertently signed my name first! Subsequent issues had the names in the right order." This information added 2006 by Steven Tice.
