Previous indexer credited Everett Raymond Kinstler for pencils and Ken Battefield for inks, but Jerry Bails only noted Kinstler as having done inks for Silver Knight, and the pencils in this story, particularly with the faces, aren’t consistent with Kinstler’s solo credited works, such as from Thrilling Comics #45 (December, 1944) and Real Life Comics #25 (September, 1945).
