Disclose Notes: Though credited as the editor, Julius Schwartz didn't actually edit the main contents as they were done in secret to celebrate his 70th birthday. Via Facebook, Bob Rozakis confirmed he "spoke with Maggin about the story before he wrote it, coordinated moving the script and art through the system and into production," acting as the de facto editor for most of the issue's contents.
