Disclose Notes: An article in Alter Ego #127 (August 2014) cites a quote made by Busy Arnold, in which Arnold states that Jerry Robinson did the art on this story. But the art is clearly Henkel's. Possibly Arnold had this issue confused with #8's story, illustrated by Robinson's good friend, Bernard Klein.
