Behind the Scenes

• No official credits were given when this story was first published, but the text W-47 on the first page indicates that it is the 47th story drawn by Bertil Wilhelmsson. This practice of indicating the creators by initials and a serial number on the first page is still used on some comic strips produced in Sweden, but was abandoned rather quickly for "The Phantom".
• No writer was credited at publication. According to editorial documents donated to Seriearkivet/The Comics Archive, Janne Lundström wrote the synopsis and the script was written by Lundström and Bertil Wilhelmsson.
