Disclose Notes: Page one mis-quotes Bob Dylan's Desolation Row: "At night the superhuman crew...arrest eveyone who knows more than they do."
Best of DC #20 corrects the line: "Now at midnight the agents and the superhuman crew...come out and round up everyone...that knows more than they do." The message came through anyway.
