Notes & Trivia[]

This issue is reprinted in the Adventures of the Mask Omnibus, which was released in August, 2009.

This issue includes an advertisement for Adventures of the Mask #5, featuring a cover illustration by Bruce Timm.

Mike Richardson serves as a consulting editor on this issue.

The title of this issue is taken from the phrase, "Pow! Right in the kisser!", which was made popular by the character of Ralph Kramden in the 1951-1955 sitcom series The Honeymooners. Kramden said this line (among others) as one of several hollow threats he would level against his wife, Alice.

This is the first appearance of Bombshell, who fills the role of the femme fatale archetype.

Mayor Tilton's first name is Ray in this issue. In other comics it is Mitchell. In The Mask: The Animated Series, it is Mortimer. In this series, Mayor Tilton is presented as Caucasian. In The Mask feature film, he is African American.
