Notes: Marvel characters border around full facial profile of Snake-Eyes as was the case for all Marvel Comics issues dated Nov. 1986 (same idea, but different characters for each title in terms of using full facial profile (e.g.- motormaster for Nov. 1986 Transformers (Marvel, 1984 series) issue #22). www.mikezeck.com identifies Rubinstein as inker.
