In Back Issue magazine #10, Mike Kaluta says about the inking in this issue, "On the splash page to issue #4, there is a truck barreling across the page. The license plates on the front bumper of the truck have got each artist's name and little page numbers to tell what pages they worked on."
UPDATE: Per email directly from Mr. Kaluta, the dashes on the license plates do not mean "through". Only the specific pages listed were done by those artists.
