Indexer Notes

The villain in this story, a bald, bespectacled scientist with facial hair who makes people into giants in his laboratory, looks much like the title character in the movie Dr. Cyclops, a bald, bespectacled scientist with facial hair who makes people tiny in his laboratory. The movie was released in April 1940.
Lipowski is credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and the art is similar to his signed Captain Storms story in Holyoke One-Shot #2.
