- In his story, Green Arrow wears infra-googles similar those wore by Dr. Midnite.
- At the end of Captain Marvel's story, there is a cameo with Ebenezer Batson and Satan. Captain Marvel battles against Satan for his uncle's soul in the next issue.
Trivia
- After see aliens causing turmoil, Green Arrow get off the plane stairs in a rude way; one of the passengers ask "What is this -- Star City or New York?". This may be an allusion to the fame that New Yorkers bump into people without apologizing.
- In Captain Marvel's story, the film Curse of the Scorpion, starring Tom Tyler, is in a movie theater. This is one episode of Adventures of Captain Marvel, a live-action theatrically released movie serial, and Tom Tyler was the actor who portraited Captain Marvel.
