2:5 His oath parallels that of Earth's Green Lantern:

In Brightest Day, 
in Darkest Night, 
No Evil Shall Escape My Sight, 
Let Those Who Worship Evil's Might, 
Beware My Power, 
GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT 

6:1 Isaiah 40:6-8

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

18:3 There is a mystical belief that demons can be contained within chalk circles.

21:5 Adam promised to relay this message in issue #58.

22:4 Scotty was a character from the 1960's TV show Star Trek.

COMMENT: The Green Lantern of Earth, Hal Jordan, appeared in ST#24. Guy Gardner, another Earth Green Lantern, appears in #81.

COMMENT: Although DC Comics started printing this series in the "New Format" (with higher quality paper) as of last issue, starting as of this issue all advertisements are placed in the back of the book, so as not to interrupt the story. Great idea!

COMMENT: This issue contains two full page "pin-up" illustrations by Bill Sinkewicz(left) and Walt Simonson (right; note the ST faces in the treetops).
