| Notes | Originally credited to Ed Wexler, but it is not near his signed art on West Pointer in #6. The faces, figures and inking are totally different. This is unmistakably the work of Kiefer, with his very peculiar eyes that never seem to focus on anything, and faces with no variation. Compare with his credited story in Planet Comics #1, and in Fantastic Comics #3, both from the same period. |

| Notes | Originally credited to C. A. Winter, but this has the unmistakeable faces of Meskin, squinting eyes and long jaws, and tall figures with small heads. |
