Pages: 13

Notes: Very uncertain art credits here, as some of the tall, longnecked figures with hats on the back of their head looks like George Tuska. Belfi, with his marked press in trouser legs, is credited on ink in Desperado by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. Mike Roy, credited on pencils in Desperado, is another possible on pencils, as many of the faces have some similarities with his signed work in Adventures into darkness #14, but he has shorter figures. He is credited on pencils in Desperado by Jerry Bails' Who's Who.
