Notes
- Since the story indicated that it's Julie Schwartz's 70th birthday on both Earth-One and Earth-Prime, that means the events on both Earths took place on June 19, 1985, the day Schwartz turned 70.
- The Earth-One Julie Schwartz is credited with "creating" comic book versions of Superman (Ultra-Man), Batman (Night Wizard), Wonder Woman (Madame Miracle) and Flash (Jet Jordan) shortly before they actually appeared. This seems to ignore the fact that the Jay Garrick comics had to predate those with Jet Jordan by at least 20 years.
- Crediting Earth-One Julie Schwartz with these characters raises question of what happened to the Earth-One versions of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (Superman; 1938); Bob Kane and Bill Finger (Batman; 1939); and William Moulton Marston (Wonder Woman; 1942).
- Prior to this story, the Earth-One Julie Schwartz was shown to be working at DC Comics in Justice League of America #103 and Wonder Woman #220, even though Perry White in this story appears to imply that Julie became a vagrant after his superhero comics failed.
- As stated by Perry White, Olaf was the name of a person from the United States Naval Intelligence who didn't want Julius Schwartz to publish a story about an atomic bomb. Julie's story of the atomic bomb predated the actual known existence of an atomic bomb.
- Dick Giordano, Paul Levitz and Bob Rozakis are credited as aided and abetted by.
