Indexer Notes
Inker credit corrected by Steve Grant on 12 September 2005; an editorial reply on the letters page of Fantastic Four #71 explicitly says that the credit is wrong, and that inker was Frank
Giacoia, not Joe Sinnott. First mention of Sue's pregnancy. Additional character info from Rob Allen, 6/1/2006.

Indexer Notes
First solo Surfer story. The issue credits Frank Giacoia as sole inker, as noted by Rob Allen, 6/1/2006.
Quasimodo, the living computer, was first seen as a computer with facial features in FF Annual #4, and is left, abandoned at the end of that story. This story picks up the plot thread and converts him to an animated figure. Next seen in Captain Marvel #7.
