Trivia
- This issue includes a two-page text story by Wilton Weston titled, Who Did It?
- This is the first issue where Dr. Fate does not wear the Helmet of Nabu. He begins wearing a half-mask, and does not have access to the full bevy of his mystical powers. Diverting from the previous occult-related themes, the Dr. Fate vignettes adopt a more traditional super-hero stride from this point forward.
- In these early appearances, Green Arrow has brown hair. In later issues, his hair color changes to blond.
- Green Arrow and Speedy make reference to an unpublished earlier adventure, The Case of the Golden Mummy.
