Indexer Notes

According to a caption accompanying an interview of Neal Adams by Paul Levitz in the Winter 2013-2014 issue of Taschen Magazine, many of the faces on the cover belong to DC staffers. "Among them: Joe Letterese (left edge, below the "Featuring Deadman" banner), Jay Scott Pike (to the right of Joe Letterese), Ira Schnapp (to the right of Jay Scott Pike), Jerry Serpe (over Deadman's left shoulder), Jack Miller (to the right of Jerry Serpe), Jack Adler (to the left of Deadman's right hand), Ed Eisenberg (bottom left corner). Other faces include those that Adams drew in the style of Lee Elias (man directly below the speech balloon), or which evolved into his design for Batman villain Ra's al Ghul (8). Adams described one face (below and to the right of Lee Elias) as God."

Indexer Notes

Originally intended for the unpublished Showcase (DC, 1977 series) #105. Story printed in the limited distribution Cancelled Comic Cavalcade (DC, 1978 series) #2. Original version of the story had a 2-page sequence of Deadman saving a boy during the time he is travelling across town (between panels 2 and 3 on page 4 of this version of the story). Per the text page prepared for Showcase (DC, 1977 series) #105 and printed in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade (DC, 1978 series) #2, Wein wrote the first twelve pages of the original story (edited here to the first 10 pages) and Conway wrote the rest without knowing how Wein intended to finish the story.
