Indexer Notes
Giella inking credit from Joe Giella 2020-01-08 via Error Report 12433. (Giella credit is also listed in Flash Archives #1 and The Silver Age Flash Omnibus #1 reprints.) The Frank Giacoia credit from the index for Flash Annual #1, taken from Julius Schwartz's records, is apparently incorrect.
