Disclose Notes: The creators were listed en masse at the end of the comic without identifying them with any particular pages. Where credits have been attributed here they have either resulted from the art being signed or identifiable, or from web sources. Neilgaimanbibliography.com has been particularly helpful in noting the pages Neil Gaimain wrote. The overall plot was by Richard Curtis, Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison, but it's a very loose premise and it's unlikely they had any input into the pages drawn by Viz creators for instance. Two plot threads run through the issue: shenanigans in the Comic Relief studio and Blackadder learning about the necessity of charity. Writers and artists credited whose work I've been unable to attribute are Dan Abnett, Jeff Anderson, Dougie Braithwaite, Mike Collins, Jamie Delano, D'Israeli, Garth Ennis, Dick Foreman, John Freeman, Igor Goldkind, Bambos Georgiou, Martin Griffiths, Peter Hogan, Nigel Kitching, Barry Kitson, Mark Millar, Pete Milligan, Paul Neary, Edmund Perryman, John Smith, and Si Spencer, although credits for some artists, noted with a question mark, are educated guesses. Bernie Jay, Dondi Cox and Robin Bouttell are credited among the artists, but are most likely to have contributed colouring. It's extremely difficult to identify the letterers, but those listed in the credits are Eliza, Ellie DeVille, Bambos Georgiou (often just credited as Bambos), Ian Nicholson, Annie Parkhouse, Woodrow Phoenix and Tom Frame. Letterer Elitta Fell is given a last minute thanks in the introduction.
