Ben Thompson art credits were added by Craig Delich, from Craig Yoe in Super Weird Heroes (IDW Publishing, 2018 series) Volume 2 (August 2018). Per Keith Chandler: "The art style looks nothing like the signed stories by Thompson earlier in the issue." Whereupon the tentative credit was removed.
The closing illustrated panel tells readers that "The Child Prodigy" will join forces with the Music Master in his battle against the denizens of the underworld. |
