| Inks | Bob Fujitani (see notes) (signed) Lou Fine (see notes) (signed) ? |
| Notes | The art must be Fujitani: the faces, the eyes, the bodies and the way cloth twirls all indicate it must be him instead of Lou Fine (as was previously credited). Some panels, though, might be partially Lou Fine's work, especially the very detailed ones (e.g. the camel's face). This is very likely because in his article in Alter Ego (TwoMorrows, 1999 series) #127 (August 2014), Ken Quattro states that, by issue #30 of Smash, Fine was collaborating with new Quality artist Bob Fujitani. |
