Notes: Job number and page count confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics.

Pages 4-6 replace the original 4th and 5th pages of the original story; it is presumably these additional pages that Pablo Marcos inked. Also, pages 18-20 condense the original 17th-20th pages of the original story, omitting the first panel of the 17th page, the last panel of the 19th page, and reducing the size of several other panels.
