Disclose Notes: Art credit from Jack Burnley art. In conversations with Jack, Jack was not sure he did this cover. However, a few years later, his good artist friend, Fred Ray, gave Jack a listing of some of his art credits (published in Alter-Ego #25 for June of 2003) for Superman and Batman, and these credits (verified by Ray) state that Ray did the pencils and Jerry Robinson did the inks to this cover.
