Pages: 8.000

Pencils: John Rosenberger

Notes: This is most probably John Rosenberger on pencils, when looking at Black X in the splash panel, and also the many close up side views and figures in bird view, hands and foreshortening movements of figures. He also has pencilled the story in #81, but different inkers. Very much like Rosenberger's work on The Fly #13 and others in that series. His protuding lower lips seems to be changed by the inker, except in Black X in first panel.
