Indexer Notes

Witherby, Joyce, Lord, Williams, Morgan, Acerno did additional background inks. An annotation reads: "The creators wish to thank the following friends who spent many a long night chained to desks, art tables, and photostat cameras to insure the monolith would have his revenge: Ron Zalme, John Morelli, Phil Felix, Bill Vallely, Barry Shapiro, Harry Candelario, Robbie Carosella, Stu Schwartzberg, Ken Lopez, Danny Louie, Janice Chiang, Eliot R. Brown, Carol Kalish, Peter David, Steve Saffel, Sandy Schechter, Fred Baumann, Lynn Cohen and Veronica Lawlor. Special thanks to our friend, the late Morrie Kuramoto who thought this was a dumb idea."
