Disclose Notes: In his foreword, Jack Burnley credits his brother Ray Burnley with background inks and his sister Betty Bentley with letters for all of the stories in this volume, though they are not officially credited in the table of contents. Burnley also denies that Gardner Fox had anything to do with the creation of Starman or wrote the script for the first story, and takes credit for a re-write of the first story, including the creation of the villain Dr. Doog, which he originally named Dr. Doom.
