Matt Baker added to art credits per Roy Thomas in his new HC from PS Artbooks. The Kamen credit comes from a 1994/96 AC reprint. The Who's Who lists that reprint credit, but Kamen is not indicated as doing the Phantom Lady for Fox.

The last 1/3 of page 10 is a color ad from PS Artbooks for the Planet Comics hardcover the company was releasing. It displays the cover to Planet Comics #1 (by Lou Fine) as well as a special numbered art print by Carmine Infantino found in the Deluxe edition of the HC.
