Writing credit given to Joe Gill in the comic book. Frank McLaughlin states he wrote all the Judomaster stories. McLaughlin is quoted as saying, "As far as writing and drawing Judomaster...Joe Gill’s name appearing as writer, (on Judomaster), was to satisfy John Santangelo’s arrangement with Joe. I wrote all of those, myself." (retrieved 1 August 2016 from http://www.firstcomicsnews.com/?p=228955).
