Indexer Notes

The original indexer credited the artwork to George Tuska. Jim Vadeboncouer thought it might have been Reed Crandall, but was uncertain. The collective members of The Reed Crandall Appreciation Page on Facebook are convinced it is not Crandall and are uncertain who it might be (Posted on 18 December 2020, https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10207645269567350&set=gm.2785101888404…).
