Notes & Trivia

Freddy Krueger and the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise were created by Wes Craven and are copyrighted © 1984, 1992, New Line Cinema Corporation. All Rights Reserved. This series is not intended for children. This series was intended to run for three issues, but the third issue was never produced. The events of this issue are not necessarily endorsed by the copyright holders at New Line Cinema, and as such, should not be considered part of the canonical narrative of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. This issue includes an introductory prelude written by Andy Mangels from July, 1992. "Mal T. Cullers" is likely a pseudonym for an unknown colorist. Phonetically, the name sounds like "Multicolors". The character of bailiff Julian Dorado is based on an actual person who was the winner of a 900-number contest to attend the highly publicized "funeral" of Freddy Krueger. Part of the prize included an appearance in an Innovation Comics issue. Scenes of Freddy Krueger's court trial was also detailed in the "No More Mr. Nice Guy" episode of Freddy's Nightmares in October, 1988. In both this issue and the Freddy's Dead issue, Krueger arrives at the courthouse wearing his trademark sweater and hat. In a court preceding, the defendant is usually in attendance wearing formal attire. This issue establishes that Donald Thompson, father of Nancy Thompson, was one of the arresting officers on the night that Freddy Krueger was captured. The court scene detailing the illegal search warrant of the Krueger residence was alluded to by Marge Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Court personnel featured in this issue include Judge Gwen Francesca, Michael Deeks, the prosecutor, Mister Shelton, the public defender, and Julian Dorado, the bailiff. One of the women outside the municipal building makes reference to her baby, Roland. This is Roland Kincaid, a mental patient and "dream warrior" featured in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. One character outside the courthouse is named Mister Lane. This might be the father of Rod Lane, who is a character featured in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Kirk Parker is the husband of Elaine Parker and the father of Kristen Parker from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. They are divorced by the time of the later movies. Lester Kincaid is the father of Roland Kincaid from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Freddy Krueger makes reference to Nancy Thompson in this issue - the heroine and "Final girl" from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
