The original index credits Frank Doyle as writer, Stan Goldberg as penciller and Rudy Lapick as inker. The artwork does not look like the other Tim Kennedy pencilled stories in this digest, and looks like Stan Goldberg. The original story was published in 1982, the oldest Tim Kennedy pencilling credit in the database is from 1990, and the Who's Who lists his earliest Archie work also as 1990.
