The lettering in this story is done with an Ames Lettering Guide, probably by Peter, but this is not confirmed.
Charles Moulton is the pen name of psychologist William Moulton Marston.
One theory is that the child of Dan and Diana White is actually Marvin White, of the Super-Friends, but this has not yet been confirmed.
