Original indexer credited pencils to "Dan Spiegle (?)". According to the letters page of Weird War Tales #23, this story was originally commissioned by Dick Giordano when he was editing mystery comics for DC, although it was never used. It was then featured in Witching Hour #9 and later reprinted in Weird War Tales #22. Story and art credits are from the reprint in Weird War Tales #22.
