Disclose Notes: Vince Fago, Timely's interim editor for the drafted Stan Lee, recalled, "I hired a friend from the animation business, Pauline Loth, and she did the art for the first Miss America book." (Al Fago quotation from Les Daniels' Marvel: Five Fabulous Decades of the World's Greatest Comics (Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1991), p. 54.) Fago was actually referring to the interior art credits.
