For the record, I'm guessing on Serpe and Snapinn. Really, since DC never intended to sell any of this comic anyway, I don't know if they colored them at all. Serpe and Snapinn worked on the last Creeper story that appeared in World's Finest Comics, so I'm just guessing it would have still been them on this story, which was originally supposed to be Showcase #106.
Anyway, whether it was ever intended to see the light of day or not, this was the last Steve Ditko Creeper story they included in the hardcover collection of his work. He'd switched Jack Ryder to working at a TV station during the World's Finest stories, with a cast of people who routinely get angry with Ryder for being flaky and unreliable. In this case, they end up troubled by a former TV weatherman that feels he got humiliated by his assistant, who then took his job. So the guy cooks up a weather staff thing to take revenge. As you do. The staff also wreaks havoc with the gizmo that controls Ryder's changing into the Creeper (somehow), so lots of near misses on blowing the old secret identity.
