Indexer Notes
Bean art per Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr via atlastales.com. Previous indexer credited Russ Heath on pencils and inks. Possible job number per reprint.
Saltarella agrees it isn't Russ Heath but sees a number of artists including Angelo Torres on the top of pg 3, bottom left of pg 4 and maybe on some of the splash. He also sees Al Hartley doing pencils and breakdowns and John Tartaglione on inks.
A note on the splash page mentions the Black Rider debuting in his own title.
