  • Notes: • "First printing, June 1980"; no number line • Cover art not credited, but enlarged images of the original art available on the internet, e.g. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_O9MiOnBlba4/Td0jgo_B1AI/AAAAAAAAABo/geXdiAsqbmA/s512/lf.jpg, show Vincent Di Fate's signature to the right of the wheel and to the left of the shuttle. • The copyright page credits the artists responsible for the interior art, including Fernando Fernandez, but it doesn't specify what artist is responsible for what story. The first pages of some (but not all) stories state who did the artwork, which was used to create the Interiorart records below. Schomburg's work is not credited in the story, but his illustrations are signed. • The Plot interior art attributed to "SF" by signature of "Steve Fabian". Undoubtedly the same three drawings as in Destinies, April-June 1979 . • The Ways of Love singed "SF" for Steve Fabian. Eight drawings undoubtedly from Destinies, January-February 1979. • Defending the Third Industrial Revolution signed "Egge" for David Egge. From Destinies, April-June 1979. • Assimilating Our Culture, That's What They're Doing signed "SF" for Steve Fabian. Reprinted from Destinies, November-December 1978. • Domino Domine no signature found. Should be from Destinies, January-February 1979 done by Steve Fabian. • Spirals no signature found. Should be from Destinies, April-June 1979 done by Fernando.
