Disclose Notes: The signature on this story is dated '77'. The signature is 'elias & DEMETRIO', probably by a single letterer. There are various claims about the identity of 'Elias', including that he provided the script. However, it seems most likely this is Spanish artist Alfredo Elías Mondeja (who did Simba in 'Jaimito').
