Trivia

 * This issue features one-page Little Pete and Honey in Hollywood humor strips.


 * The names Wade-8 and Lorac-K7 are actually Wade and Carol spelled backwards. What significance this has in relation to this particular comic book or its creative team is unknown.


 * Wade-8 and Lorac-K7 are from the year 2958, the same time era as the Legion of Super-Heroes, who first appeared only three issues earlier in Adventure Comics #247. There is no connection between the two groups of time travellers, and for all intents and purposes, they have never met one another.


 * The Green Arrows of the World is loosely adapted from a previous story originally presented in Detective Comics #215 entitled, The Batmen of All Nations.
