On story page four, DD mentions the band "Blood, Sweat and Tears" as well as race car driver Richard Petty and the Firecracker 400 during his banter. On story page 15, Stan Lee and wife Joan appear in two panels in a street scene and Stan mentions going home to write "Spider-Man." DD notices him and refers to him as "fearless leader."
