Alternatives, : All white texts on black or dark color background are turned to black on white or light color background.
Special: The story was planned to appear for the first time in Creepy #69 (1975), but because a cofusion of the printer it appeared already in two issues earler (on a place of "Bowser"). Instead in a Special Edgar Allan Poe issue they printed a B&W story "Oval Portrait!". That is why there was no color section in Creepy #69 (1975).
