Notes: At least two printings exist; 1st printing has only 1978 copyright date in indicia; 2nd printing has 1978 and 1980 copyright dates in indicia. According to Eisner's introduction in the 1st [nn] volume, 1st 6 weeks of dailies were written by Eisner with art by Lou Fine over Eisner layouts; rest of strips for the daily run through 1944 were by Jack Cole (writing and art). This is contradicted by credits from the Spirit Index by Cat Yronwode printed throughout the Kitchen Sink Spirit magazine run. Credits in GDC series remain as per Yronwode index, but reconciliation is needed.
