"Black and white and color reconstruction by Digital Chameleon" -- per publication data page.

Some of the official story titles appear on the covers, but not the stories themselves. The unofficial story titles are from the Table of Contents.

Sam Rosen letters credits based on Mark Evanier's mention in his foreword that "most of the lettering [on both the Cuidera and Crandall stories] was done by Sam Rosen."
