ME: Sergio's mother (who has passed away since this story was done)
helped out a tiny bit, filling in a few of the large black areas with
a brush.  She did not do any actual artwork but Sergio decided to put
that credit on just as a little salute to her.

By the way, that's my lettering on that added credit.
