Indexer Notes
Pencils:
1. Bob Kane (verified by Schwartz)
2. Lew Sayre Schwartz (stated by Les Daniels in the book "Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes"). Lew Sayre Schwartz himself denies pencilling this so this tips the scale towards Kane pencils.
Inks credit verified by Charles Paris.
