As told to Mike May by the artist, Murphy Anderson finished the left side of the Jimmy Olsen figure, primarily the leg. Information submitted through the GCD Errors list. The Newsboy Legion figures were pencilled by Kirby, the only portion of the cover retained from an earlier version of the cover, per Neal Adams in Jack Kirby Collector #17 (November 1997).
