Disclose Notes: New credit line reads "script: Archie Goodwin art: Wallace Wood and Dan Adkins colors: Steve Oliff." J David Spurlock, the executor of the Wally Wood estate, posted this (updated) correction to the GCD Facebook page in December 2020:

"ALL WOOD. Someone at Eclipse made a mistake in the reprint credits. Adkins had been gone from the Wood Studio FOR YEARS by this point. Though Goodwin had returned to Warren at this point he did not write for Wood. Wood was producing the work complete from his own studio. There was even plans for Wood & co to produce a complete magazine, most often referred to as Pow! (most of the Pow! work finally appeared years later revived as 1984/1994). Wood's main assistant at this time (the Long Island Wood Studio) was Nick Cuti who, was more of a writer than an artist. When Cuti helped Wood write for Warren, Cuti got CREDIT (as in Prelude to Armageddon). Cuti noted how no one at the studio ever saw The Curse sibling story To Kill A God as Wood did it not only alone but, at home. Likewise with The Curse, had Cuti helped, it would have been noted as on his other Warren-related material. So, again, the Eclipse credits to Adkins and Goodwin in connection to The Curse have no basis and are incorrect."
The Eclipse credits for the first story of the issue are for the second story in the issue "Overworked!" and the credits for second story in the issue are the credits for the first story in the issue "The Curse".
