Indexer Notes

In Alter Ego #56 (February 2006), in an interview with Adler, he reports that he painted the colors on the engraving plates for this story. Info added by Craig Delich.

Error Report #2990 by Mike DeLisa states the following: "Cover was not by Shuster, actually by unknown member of DC staff based on one interior panel. Coloring was not by Jack Adler; Adler states that the work was done by DC staff. My source is the Court record and decision, which includes affidavits from Siegel, Shuster, and Adler."

Superman/Batman (DC, 2003 Series) #41 (December 2007) identifies bystander on cover as Rick Radomski of Radomski Hardware. Though this takes place during a dream sequence, the name could be considered canon.

Conversely, the cover mimics a scene within the story. In the story, the owner of the car is Butch Matson, a gangster who threatens Lois Lane, and who flees in panic from Superman's wrath in the same manner as depicted on the cover. Very likely the figure on the cover is meant to be Butch Matson.

Indexer Notes

Art credit is given to Joe Shuster in this book, but according to the GCD index of the source issue, both Superman's pose and the inks look more like Boring.

The scene depicted is rather anachronistic. Although Superman never personally got involved in fighting on the European front (except for the famous, non-canonical, short story where he ends the war in a matter of hours by bringing Hitler and Mussolini to justice), the bi-plane, the mounted cannon, and the barbed wire on the hill suggests a first world war setting.

Indexer Notes

Art credits from Keith Chandler who points out via the GCD Error Tracker that the faces on the cover look like the the faces in the splash panel of the interior story, so Sikela is the cover artist. The GCD previously credited Jack Burnley. The Action Comics Archives lists the cover artist as unknown. This book credits "Jack Burnley and staff."

Indexer Notes

Pencils confirmed by Jack Burnley. Keith Chandler points out that Superman: The Action Comics Archives (DC, 1997 series) #4 (2005) gives cover inking credit to Stan Kaye, and he agrees. "Compare this cover with issue #66, which you give anyway as Kaye (but Archives #4 gives as 'Unknown')." This book also credits Kaye. Bob Hughes points out that the background detailing and Superman "S" design point to Roussos on this cover and to Kaye on issue #66.
