Notes[]
- Reprinted from Shadow Magazine #9.
- The Pyramid cover of this paperback is designed by Jim Steranko, however, the front cover was actually painted by former Shadow artist, George Rozen. There is no "Steranko" signature on the cover. It is believed that he wanted Rozen to receive royalties from it. The cover originally appeared on Shadow Magazine #245, published in 1942.
