Notes: Signed by Gregory Sykes.

Once again Joe doing the whole shebang. Joe's frequent use of swiping can fool you some times, but there are enough of his touches to be sure he did the art. When I brought Joe copies of these two stories I mentioned that one had a signature other then his own. Without even looking at it he said it was probably Gregory G. Sykes. Which, except for the extra initial, is correct. In high school Joe and his friends all had aliases. Joe's was Gregory G. Sykes. Joe also added when he was young he was a big Tarzan fan. - Harry Mendryk.
