The splash page states "Created by Stephen A. Douglas", who was an editor at Eastern Color. However, since Everett created at least the visuals for this first appearance, he should be considered at least a co-creator.

Script and art were previously credited to Tarpe Mills, but this is Ben Thompson on pencils and inks. Compare this with the signed Hydroman story earlier in the issue. The squiggles in the ear are a dead giveaway.
