| Notes | Pencils credited in part to Reed Crandall by Saltarella: "Looks like several artists worked on this cover - the center of the page with most of T-Man's face and especially his swinging arm and the face and upper torso (including the left hand) of the person he is striking is Reed Crandall work (with some alterations at the edges). The rest is not him. The non-Crandall figures remind me of whoever was doing Quality's GI Combat covers at around this same time." Reed Crandall expert Roger Hill thinks instead the penciler swiped a Crandall figure. |
