Indexer Notes

Ditko is erroneously credited on the contents page. According to Brian Postman and Joe Rubinstein on the Ditkomania Facebook page, October 2014, Ditko had drawn an illustration that was rejected by Mark Gruenwald. Instead Gruenwald traced the Clown, Princess Python and Gambono figures from Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2 and Brian Postman added the figures of Fire-Eater, Bruto, and Live Wire.
