Notes
- Doll Man:
- Doll Man gets head-punched from behind, and is groggy, but doesn't black out.
- This issue, for once, Darrel has actual misgivings over the fact that he'd never told Martha his secret.
- Doll Man gets out of one tight spot by shrinking himself to an even smaller size. According to his thought balloons, he's done this at least once before.
- Rusty Ryan: The palace guards of this maharajah in India all look very much like Pierpont Lee, who up until now has been the only Black character. Everybody else in India, so far, has looked more or less like Alababa.
