Indexer Notes

This issue refers to the "one day a year" WW loses her powers, something that was referred to in "The Human Charm Bracelet" in #106. Either it's been a long year, or WW sat out the other powerless days.
The triplet villains are also called Red Star, White Star, and Blue Star, but it is unclear which brother is which color (the triplets all look alike).

Story across 23 pages in three parts of 5.5, 9.5, and 6.5 pages.
