NotesStory title taken from a panel on the cover.

Art credits from Crandall expert Roger Hill, who says Cuidera had partially penciled this story before leaving for military duty. Crandall and Kotzky were then brought in to finish the story. Hill says Crandall's work is evident in the splash page and in the face/head of the female character. (Information from John Fallon via the GCD Error Tracker.) Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr. previously suggested Reed Crandall and/or Rudy Palais on the art.

Xanukhara's and the "Briefcase Bearer's" next appearances are in Military Comics #29.

Chop-Chop appears on the cover only.
