Notes
a story about wife-beating. According to information from Robin Snyder, Bill Draut was originally scheduled to ink the story but was unable to complete the job. Ditko stepped in and completed the story, with some inking assistance possibly by Buckler.

Nick Caputo has examined the pages and suspects the inking is as follows: Bill Draut: all of page 1; page 4; panels 2-5 (partial inking); page 5 (some inking by Ditko and possible alteration of Troy by Buckler in panel 5); pgs 6-7; page 8, panels 1-3 (Troy figure); page 9, panel 2; page 10, panel 2(foreground figure). Buckler may have inked the Fly's face on page 2 and background figures on page 3. In addition, a background inker worked on page 2. His name is on a building but undecipherable. Everything else is inked by Ditko. Information per Nick Caputo, February 2015.
