Disclose Notes: Originally credited "Paul Reinman ?", but not his work. No pointed faces with eyes far apart and out of line.

While not drawn completely in his style, some of the characters exhibit typical Infantino poses.
Based on a question posed by John Fallon, Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr. and Jim Amash have agreed that Carmine Infantino is not the penciller for this story.
