Frazetta credit from Greg Theakston's "Frank Frazetta Comic Art Bibliography." Gary Watson originally credited Bob Powell, citing that the cowboy in the lower right corner looks like a Powell pose, but Nick Caputo suggests the resemblance is due to the cover being based on the splash page of "The Terrible Three" which Powell drew.

Indexer Notes

Frazetta credit from Greg Theakston's "Frank Frazetta Comic Art Bibliography." Gary Watson originally credited Bob Powell, citing that the cowboy in the lower right corner looks like a Powell pose, but Nick Caputo suggests the resemblance is due to the cover being based on the splash page of "The Terrible Three" which Powell drew.
