"Until the 1970s it was not common practice in the comic book industry to credit all stories. In the preparation of this Archive, we have used our best efforts to review any surviving records and consult any available databases and knowledgeable parties. We regret the limitations of this process and any missing or mis-assigned attributions that may occur." "The comics reprinted in this volume were produced in a time when racism played a larger role in society and popular culture both consciously and unconsciously. They are reprinted without alteration for historical reference"--Contents page.
