Indexer Notes
Splash page credits read: "Series conceived and plotted by Tony Isabella, with the welcome aid of Roy Thomas." Steve Gerber is uncredited in the issue, however the letter column in issue 11 says: “Chris got more than a fair share of compliments on his story, but he wants to make sure Steve Gerber gets credit for some last minute copy changes in the dialogue, which-while not of major proportions-served to add even more to the impact of the script. So take your bows, gentlemen-both of you.”
