Disclose Notes: According to Eisner's introduction the 1st [nn] volume, 1st 6 weeks of dailies were written by Eisner with art by Lou Fine over Eisner layouts; rest of strips for the daily run through 1944 were by Jack Cole (writing and art). This is contradicted by credits from the Spirit Index by Cat Yronwode printed throughout the Kitchen Sink Spirit magazine run and also by the Yronwode essay on the back cover of issue #4 of this series where Cole is credited with writing his own stories while Fine is said to have illustrated Bill Woolfolk stories. Credits in GDC series remain as per Yronwode index, but reconciliation is needed.
