Trivia[]
- Starlord addresses his star-troopers on page eight. He is also on the back page, introducing a 'Hardware Profile' of a Manned Anti-Neutron Tracked Attack Vehicle or MANTAV.
- This is the first issue of Starlord in which Strontium Dog does not appear, apparently because Johnny and Wulf are taking a break on a pleasure planet. This means that the comic only contains four stories, a trend which will continue for most of the rest of its run.
- This is also the first issue contributed to by Ian Gibson, who is credited alongside Jesús Redondo on Mind Wars.
