Unknown. Dick Giordano told me there was a guy in the industry named Hugh Paley at that time but it's unknown if it's him. ALTER EGO #28 (The Maneely issue) has a home-made congratulations card on page 48 given to Joe upon the birth of his youngest daughter, Nancy. One of the signatures on there "appears" to be a June or Jill Paley. It's not that clear. I blew up the signature and it's either June or Jill. Could June (or Jill) have been a woman who wrote romance scripts? All the signatures are of staff personel, no seeming freelancers. One signature is "Vince" which "may" be Colletta.
The art seems the same with and without Paley. It's likely a writer. Maybe.
