• The character of Jesse James that appears in the Vigilante vignette is not to be confused with the historical Jesse James. This version of James named himself after the infamous outlaw in order to build on the latter's reputation.

• Racer appears next in Western Comics #2.

• Stuff appeared last in Action Comics #116. He appears next in Action Comics #117.

• The Vigilante appeared last in Action Comics #116. He appears next in Action Comics #117.

• The Wyoming Kid appears next in Western Comics #2.
