• The Menace of Madam Macabre!; The Power of Doctor Banner! - Giant-Man vignette may have originally been the top section of cover(by Kirby/Stone) but was reduced, possibly because it was too similar to the previous issues cover. The Wasp, Madame Macabre and assistant are all images from the interior story. The Hulk illo appears to be inked by Chic Stone as well. Info per Nick Caputo, September 2014.
• The Menace of Madam Macabre - Kuramoto credit per Nick Caputo, April 2013. Previous indexer credited Ray Holloway. Nick notes that based upon an examination of the lettering styles Ray Holloway has been incorrectly identified as using the pseudonym "Sherigail". The name was derived from Morrie Kuramoto's wife and daughter, Gail and Sherry, as noted here: http://www.nyu-apastudies.org/new/larryhama/?p=129 (dead link)
