Dependable hack meets Crandall clone at the end of the world: "Issue #2 leads off with an interesting doomsday scenario... Jim Vadebocouer, Jr. has pegged the pencil artist as possibly Morris Marcus, a dependable artist who bounced around the industry on genre comics in the early 1950s. The inker appears to be Frank Sieminski, an artist who drew primarily crime and romance stories and has a distinctive feathering style similar to Reed Crandall." — Dr. Michael J.
