Notes:
Page 14, panel 4: Three New York newspapers are shown for the usual purposes of plot exposition. Two of them are actual newspapers ("New York Newsday" and the "New York Post"), while one ("New York Times Tribune") is an amalgam of the "New York Times" and the defunct "New York Herald Tribune".
Creator reference (to Karl Kesel) Page 12, panel 2: A handbill saying "Thanks, Karl", pasted to a lamppost.
The Electrocutioner reappears after The Vigilante (DC, 1983 Series) #8-9.
The climax of this story is something akin to the movie "Freaks" (1932), only with clowns.
