Disclose Notes: Forgione is credited on pencil and Abel on ink on "Unknown World" by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. This is a one shot title, and with the other stories credited, this has to be Forgione and Abel. Forgione's pencil work is very similar to some of his signed stories elsewhere, with many close up of faces, but Abel is a bit uncertain.

The style is clearly consistent with other previous Fawcett horror stories done by Sheldon Moldoff. With possible inking assist by Ed Moline.

Disclose Notes: McCarty is not found in Jerry Bails' Who's Who, but this art is identical to his signed stories in Black Magic #16, and some credited samples from Atlas Comics. He is best recognized by his faces with big eyes that can look like George Evans.
