Notes Scott Grammel on 4 December 2004, via the GCD Error List, suggested that Mike Royer was the inker. Originally indexed as "Vince Colletta (Superman touch-ups by Al Plastino)". 1/13/2009 - Mike Nielsen - Vince Colletta is credited in the issue itself. Superman does not appear so it's doubtfull that Al Plastino did any touch-up work in this issue.
