Going by the number of contributing creators CGC has listed on the label header, it seems it took a village to put this issue together.

The Torch is also featured in a full-page pin-up on the back cover. This prized issue is also noted for a full-page ad announcing the coming of Captain America Comics #1. Cited among the list of creators for this MMC issue, are Cap's creators Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. To date, CGC has graded only fifty-two examples of this red-hot issue in Universal Grade holders. Label notes are "Burgos, Everett, Thompson, Gustavson, Simon, Kirby and Dahlman stories and art, Gill story, Oksner art, Schomburg cover. Human Torch and Sub-Mariner team-up.
