Additional Info

Trivia

  • The title of issue #150 is most likely a reference to The Death of Superman storyline, which ended with Superman being alive.
  • "The Dark 'Naut Returns" is a reference to Batman, and, more specifically, Miller's previous work "The Dark Knight Returns".
  • Space Boy is one of the choices given to Free Waterfall III to identify as a series that has not run for one thousand issues. While the answer wasn't revealed, there is a 66% chance that this was one of the long running comics. But given that one of the series ended in 1999 this series most likely reached issue #1000 by the year 3002.
