Disclose Notes: The first story set in Palomar in almost four years, since issue number twenty-six. Changes of note since then- Luba is now mayor and pregnant again; Tito, a newborn previously is now ready to begin school; Sergio is fully grown; Khamo survived trying to save Tonantzin from her self-immolation but has severe burn scars.

Palomar is seen next in issue thirty-nine but only in a handful of panels. The next full Palomar story is the Be Bop a Luba one-pager in Ten Years of Love and Rockets (September 1992).

Pages numbered thirty-seven to forty-two.
