Disclose Notes: Script credit revised from Powell ? to ? by Craig Delich. The Who's Who indicates that Powell illustrated this feature only and there is no extant evidence to prove he also wrote it.
The reprint from AC fails to print Page 2 and reprints Page 5 twice.

The sign-off boxes in the margins of the original art show the inker and letterer credit as "BRB", indicating that Bob Powell did not ink this story himself.
