Story Notes
Letters from: Jeff Qualls, Arther Harrison, Dave Marr, Bryan Kaster, Alvin Yellon, Gary Kleppe, Ray Fannan, Colin Robertson, and James Mills. The letter from Colin Robertson suggests that a future child of Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad would be "like Validus of the Fatal Five, able to project mental lightning." This idea was used several years later.
