Disclose Notes: This is the first time Elizabeth Twoyoungmen is seen as an adult; she becomes Talisman in #18.
The Plodex is the alien race whom Marrina belongs to. This race is never named in this issue nor in Alpha Flight #16, November 1984, when it reappears and in which Marrina refers to it as her 'mate'.
The first time the 'Plodex' name is revealed is in Marvel Team-Up Annual #7, October 1984.

Page 2 - Splash: Snowbird’s drawing is accompanied by an extract from a famous poem in Canada The Spell of The Yukon (Robert W. Service - Songs of a Sourdough, 1907).
