Indexer Notes
The original story credited Frank Doyle with the script and Jim DeCarlo with the inks.
This digest credits Rich Koslowski with the inks on this story, which is incorrect, as the original printing of this story is from 1976. A search of Rich Koslowski's career credits, it appears he began working in comics in roughly 1994.
