Notes
- Midnight:
- Nero is portrayed as playing a fiddle. The fiddle (aka violin) was not invented in Nero's time; He actually played a cithara.[1].
- Octavia, Nero's wife, is mentioned as having been poisoned by himself. Actually, Octavia was banished to the island of Pandateria (modern Ventotene) and after days, she was bound by Nero's guards and her veins were opened in a traditional Roman suicide ritual. She was suffocated in an exceedingly hot vapor bath. Octavia's head was cut off and sent to Poppaea.
- A tiger is set loose on Midnight's friends, but it looks like a dog.
- Also featured in this issue of Smash Comics was:
- Jimmy Christian: "Havana Murder" (text story)
Trivia
- Jack Cole signed his Wun Cloo stories as "Ralph Johns"
