Notes

  • The cover is printed sideways, as is the whole comic, and reminiscent of the science fiction B-movie posters from the fifties.
  • Alan Moore scripted the panels so that readers would have to flip the comic sideways. The same concept was used in Swamp Thing (Volume 2) #34, which has a few pages printed sideways as well.

Trivia

  • The three men in the bubbles on the last page are: Jack Faust, Neil Gaiman and Austin Osman Spare.
