Disclose Notes: Because of time pressure, this issue consists of large pictures with accompanying text. The picture on pages 7 and 8 many years later served as inspiration for the Vertigo series Nevada. The art credit is listed as "Cast of Thousands," but each illustration is signed by its artist. Ed Hannigan and Nel Yomtov credited for "production."
