Notes: These are not solely Colletta's pencils nor solely his inks, so the inference here is that Paley is involved in BOTH efforts.

The only Who's Who entry for "Hubert Paley" is as a "colorist" at Marvel 20 years after this story. Has the connection between "Hubert Paley" and this "Paley" been documented, or is it an assumption?
