Indexer Notes

The art is credited to "Cardy & Sekowsky," as also listed in The Comic Reader #99, and the Showcase Presents: The House of Secrets #2 credits the pencils to Cardy and the inks to Sekowsky. But based on the art and the artists' usual practices, the roles were much more likely reversed, as suggested by Nick Caputo.
