Disclose Notes: Dan Spiegle credit from the cover original art sold through Heritage Auctions (via post by Dennis Ray on the Grand Comics Database Facebook page, 27 October 2020). Previously attributed to George Wilson.

As depicted on the cover, the Time Bridge strongly resembles "The Guardian of Forever" from Harlan Ellison's Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" (1967). In the story, however, it looks more like an arch worn through stone.
