Stories

Notes: The large splash panel looks to be Syd Shores, then there are pages with panels where I see Joe Maneely, then near the end John Severin shows up for 2 pages! I'm certain there are others also, possibly Heath also. - Doc V.
Let me just say that my notes pretty much echo DocV's on this one, though I see it as PRIMARILY a Maneely and Heath penciling job with some Shores and Severin assists. Bullpen inks (i.e. I don't know.) - JVJ
