There are no credits on this story, except for Chaykin's signature on the splash page, so I'm assuming editor Denny O'Neil (who scripted the first two Ironwolf tales) scripted "Home World" as well. Anyone have any solid info on the actual authorship?

Sci Fi Week! Makin' Chaykin: "Home World" by O'Neil (?) and Chaykin
Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Today we're checking out the third and final Groovy Age installment of Howard Chaykin's far-out Ironwolf strip (read the other installments here and here), "Home World", from Weird Worlds #10 (July 1974)!

Makin' Chaykin: "Though This Means Madness..." by O'Neil, Chaykin, and...Shakespeare
Yeah, Groove-ophiles, so you think the 80s were the decade of excess and pretension? Think again! We had excess and pretension aplenty during the Groovy Age...but doggoned if we didn't have the talent to back it up! I mean, take titanic talents like Denny O'Neil and Howard Chaykin and mix 'em with science fantasy, retro space opera, sword-and-sorcery, and some pushing-the-limits-of-the-Comics-Code-sexiness--then add "...additional dialogue by Wm. Shakespeare"and you get the sensational second Ironwolf tale from the pages of Weird Worlds #9 (October 1973)!
