Sara appears here at least following her appearance in Maxx #7
This story is labeled as "Part 1", but because the next issue -- #25, which is comprised of nearly 80 solely one-page features -- was the last before the series was cancelled, part 2 and any later parts originally scheduled to tell and conclude the mystery begun in this issue (and following up some subplots brought up in the previous issue) were never published, and so the "Part 1" was left hanging.
Explains delays and why there is a Fall 1996 marking on the cover despite the fact that the issue wasn't released until '97.
Printed on inside back cover.
