| Rural Home/Croydon seems to have been the home of the in-joke and the bad pun.
JUN GAL? Mr REE? When are these characters going to be revived? Overdue?

| Notes | Artist suggested by Gary Watson, June 2008. Also Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. has him as artist in issue #1, and the art is similar. Compare the special eyebrows, bushy at the outer top.

| Notes | Allison is credited by Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. in issue #1 on this feature, and the art is similar. He has a funny way of drawing running people, with legs really stepping out and which is found in some of his credited Chameleon stories in Target Comics too. |

| Notes | Art ID suggested by Gary Watson, June 2008.
The artwork is similar to the previous issues, in which Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. has a wild guess at Gil Kane and/or Leonard Starr. That is Kane when he was Eli Katz.
Writer and art credits verified by Leonard Starr in Alter Ego #110 (June 2012). Formerly Dick Briefer ? |
