  1. Sekowsky drew the covers and some stories for Surprise Adventures #3-5 in 1955.
  2. Steve Dillon died at 54 (1962-2016).
  3. Mike's Amazing World gives Weird War Tales #64's release date as 7 March 1978 and Twilight Zone #84's as 6 April 1978. GCD credits Miller as penciller and inker of the story in TZ #85, with -script from Arnold Drake.
  4. According to Mike's Amazing World, Sal pencilled 13578 pages (7th most prolific), inked 8539 pages (33rd most prolific) and worked on a total of 18750 pages (again 7th most prolific).
  5. In the comics, they changed the emblem on Wonder Woman's chest from an eagle to "WW" so they could trademark it. The old emblem was last used in Wonder Woman #287, cover dated January 1982.
  6. The three issues Janson inked in the teens may have been straightforward super-hero fare written by Len Wein, but Steve Gerber's run, with its brain transplants and mind swaps, satirising of the EST movement, and a homicidal elf with a gun, was anything but plain vanilla.
  7. The Atlas story was by Vince the Prince not Our Pal Sal.
  8. Apart from his work with Klaus Janson, I disliked most of Sal's stuff from 1976 onwards that he didn't ink himself. There were a few exceptions, though, such as Steve Leialoha on Marvel Team-Up #82-85, Ian Akin and Brian Garvey on Rom #36-50 and Bill Sienkiewicz on Rom #53.
  9. According to Mike's Amazing World, Marvel Team-Up Annual #1 was published after X-Men #102, which I think would make it the 14th Wolverine, 11th New X-Men and 3rd Phoenix, who was later retconned not to have been Jean Grey.
  10. Severin inked Kirby in Yellow Claw #4 and did finished art over Kirby layouts on Nick Fury in Strange Tales #136-138, which I liked fine. I wasn't crazy about Byrne/Janson on Avengers #182 & 183 or Wolverine #17-23, but didn't mind the Lee/Janson combo on Punisher War Journal #11.
  11. I think the only Mister Miracle cover Golden drew was the unpublished one intended for MM #26 (the cover to #24 was by Rogers and #25's was by Russ Heath from a layout by Al Milgrom).
  12. GCD has both Adkins and Gordon as inkers on FF #274, and says the Adkins credit was provided by Gordon in 2006.
  13. Sub-Mariner #67 (new costume) Daredevil Annual #4 (with Subby and Black Panther) Defenders #84 (a misunderstanding leads to war between Wakanda and Atlantis)
  14. Is it known who pencilled the cover? GCD can't decide between John Buscema and Keith Pollard.
  15. The dialogue was rehashed from 2000 AD prog 69.
  16. MK's costume looks clunky compared with the one he sported in Sienkiewicz's series.
  17. I think Jim Shooter fed layouts to Mike Zeck for the later issues of Secret Wars, as he was disappointed with Zeck's work on the early issues. Is it known who inked the page? The issue had three credited inkers (John Beatty, Jack Abel and Mike Esposito, of whom only Beatty is still alive). I'd guess it was Esposito, although the solid blacks make it took less egregious than the other pages he worked on.
