Notes & Trivia[]
- Infinity, Inc. was created by Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas. They first appeared in All-Star Squadron #25 in September, 1983.
- The tagline to this issue is "Hell Hath No Fury -- Like Mr. Bones!"
- Tom Condon is credited as a managing editor in this issue.
- This is the first appearance of Mister Bones. Though he becomes a recurring foe of the team throughout its run, he later becomes head of the Department of Extranormal Operations under the title Director Bones.
- Kangas are a breed of animal native to Paradise Island. They are very similar to kangaroos. In this issue, there are two baby Kangas, one of which is named Trouble. The other unnamed Kanga is incinerated by Mister Bones.
- The Infinitors meets Yolanda Montez for the first time, and she makes quite a first impression - at least on the male team members. She will eventually become Ted Grant's successor to the role of Wildcat, and a future Infinitor herself.
- Mister Bones' cape has a very familiar looking design to it. Artist Todd McFarlane will re-visit this wardrobe choice in 1992 when he puts together his own creator-owned anti-hero character Spawn.
