Notes: Formerly credited to Reed Crandall. It doesn't have any of Crandall's skinny feral villains or pointed nose though. Saltarella disagrees and sees that the "last page has some Crandall figures and faces in foreground, maybe some faces on page 3. Moreira figures elsewhere. Even the inking appears to be a group project, with different artists on foreground & background."
