Writer id by Bob Hughes. It seems strange that there would be a Cole script drawn by Lou Fine, but there it is. Perhaps Cole simply didn't have time to finish it.

Script previously credited to Manly Wade Wellman. I'm not seeing anything that links this to Wellman's style. No ellipses or sentence fragments or any of his favorite words. Expressions like MMMRRFFF and GWFF GAW MOT are not associated with any of the standard authors expected in this era of the Spirit.
