Disclose Notes: Includes a special editors' note thanking the U.S. Air Force for supplying reference photographs for aircraft depicted in the story.

Adams or his Continuity Associates staff touched-up Steve Austin's face in a number of panels. Info per Nick Caputo, January 2018.

The story is rare for including an actual calendar date for when it begins: October 29, 1976. It also establishes Austin's accident as occurring in February 1973, more or less corresponding with the March 1973 broadcast date of the original TV movie. The story also establishes, within the comic book continuity, that both Oscar and Rudy were made aware in advance that Steve's accident was going to happen.
