Indexer Notes

It is well known that Robinson and Meskin interchanged pencils and inks on their collaborations. This looks very similar to the signed first story in this issue, with Robinson on pencils and Meskin on inks (although this may not describe the exact process). This story is certainly predominantly Meskin on inks.
