Notes: Credits for script and pencils confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics. Though Wrightson is credited in an editor's note on p. 13, Schwartz' records mention only Giordano as inker.
The "Witch Queen" is actually Sinestro's sister, and had his purplish skin coloring in the original printing. Here she is colored as Caucasian, and the story loses some it's sense as a result.
