Imagine their dismay to find me crying, pounding my little fists on the floor, at the injustice of it all ... the final issue of Little Brucie cast aside like a broken promise.

DC's kiddie comics rarely featured credits, partly because of contracts, partly because the creators didn't want the later stigma of having worked on a children's comicbook (although many did, as the model sheets, short story lengths, and the less critical fans served as a perfect school for new talent).

I always picked out Li'l Brucie comics, because the superhero comics always made me feel sicker. Still have them in an old box somewhere. As a footnote, this title was used as evidence in the infamous "Batman vs. Dick Tracy"lawsuit, which was settled out of court, as the many parallels between the two characters could never be proven as to who originated what aspects. (Rogues gallery, scifi stories, gadgets, orphaned sidekicks, parents/inlaws murders...) Can't find the link, but Max Collins talked about this dichotomy years ago when the movies came out.
