| Inks | [shop]; ? |
| Notes | Some effort is made early on to mimic Mort Leav, but it is soon abandoned. Signs of Blum and Webb probably indicate shop mimics. Albright seems to be the most obvious contributor. |

| Notes | Here, also, Webb indications are probably the result of shop mimics. A great appreciator of ships, it's likely that Webb drew these or that they were lifted from those he'd rendered in earlier episodes. |

| Pencils | Alex Blum |

| Notes | Very awkward pencils with wildly disproportioned figures and horse - one more indication that it is unlikely that Blum was drawing the horses. He usually had shop specialists assist on his animal art. |
