Indexer Notes

Kaluta appears to have inked all or most of pages 11-20. Info per Nick Caputo, October 2013. According to Len Wein Jeff Jones inked the last 9 pages, " ... “The Stalker from Beyond,” the story about the alien, which, by the way, for those of you who are completists and aficionados, the last nine pages of that story were inked by Jeff Jones ...
