Disclose Notes: After an editorial dispute over work-for-hire contracts, Don McGregor left Marvel and this story was falsely credited (McGregor 1981) to editor Richard Marschall instead (although Marschall does acknowledge McGregor as the story’s author on the introductory text page elsewhere in the issue).
