Notes
- In the second story, the names and mannerisms of the low-standing crooks Lenny Hoss and George Feffer are allusions to the characters George Milton and Lennie Small of the popular 20th Century novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. At one point in this comic, Lenny Hoss is shown wearing a t-shirt with a rabbit on it, an animal which Lennie Small from the novel had a very particular fascination with.
Trivia
- In the second story the night prior to the charity event Superman used a red sun lamp to grow stubbles on his face. And, during the fundraising event used a Kryptonian metal razor blade to shave himself.
- In the second story it was revealed that Kryptonians are unable to smoke. A "Kryptonian Respiratory System won't allow tobacco smoke to enter the lungs."
