Trivia[]
- Starlord addresses his star-troopers on pages fourteen and fifteen, the second instalment of 'Starlord's Stargrams' (the letters page). He explains how the comic's cover is a propaganda leaflet distributed by the Int. Stell. Fed. showing the destruction of the starliner Antilles. It therefore bears no relation to any of the comic's actual stories.
- This issue contains the final episode of Planet of the Damned, which ends rather abruptly.
- The back cover has a gorgeous picture of Aztec spaceships raining fire down on 27th-century Earth, by Salinas.
