Disclose Notes: Frazetta credit from Greg Theakston's "Frank Frazetta Comic Art Bibliography." Gary Watson originally credited Bob Powell, citing that the cowboy in the lower right corner looks like a Powell pose, but Nick Caputo suggests the resemblance is due to the cover being based on the splash page of "The Terrible Three" which Powell drew.
