Notes
Splash page of story is drawn by Herb Trimpe and lettered by Morrie Kuramoto. Werner Roth's splash was apparently rejected, and was likely discovered in inventory and used as a pin-up in Kid Colt # 227, Dec 1978. Although it's attributed to Al Hartley, it looks to be the work of Werner Roth, and is even inked by Sal Buscema, who inked the story in this issue.
