Story Notes

Bruno Premiani was formerly identified as the artist by Craig Delich. Which is inconsistent with the reprint in Super DC Giant (DC, 1970 Series) #S-14 (September-October 1970). Several art spotters on the GCD Main discussion group definitely identify Howard Sherman as the artist (pencils and inks).
