Indexer Notes
Matthew Head argued that though this cover has a Neal Adams feel in places, it does not entirely, and notes that it is not listed on Adams' checklist on nealadams.com; he suggests it may be Nick Cardy pencils, with Dick Giordano inking. Nick Caputo agrees that the Neal Adams index is valuable, but by its own admission is incomplete. Nick does not see evidence of Cardy's more cartoonish style, and believes the cover is the work of Adams, likely pencils and inks.
