| The credits here are for a different comic (those on the alternate scan of this issue are correct). They're for a 1949 comic while this one comes from 1958. I suspect this may be another example of Farrell & Co. issuing two series with identical title, volume, and issue numbers several years apart. Easy to mix 'em up. |
