Pencils: Carmine Infantino
Inks: Frank Giacoia; Joe Giella; John Giunta ?
Notes: Writer and pencil credits confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics. Schwartz's records indicate Joe Giella was paid for inking the story, but Bob Bailey disputes this, identifying Frank Giacoia as the inker. Keith Chandler sees this as a mishmash of many inking styles. Giella undoubtedly inks the face of Ora throughout (note the characteristic lips), while Giacoia inks other of the figures. John Giunta seems to ink the head, at least, of the Millo character. There are several other hands present also, though as yet unidentified.
