Indexer Notes
The deceased Maria Inclan's two-panel appearance as the movie character Tondalayo reuses two of the same images of her from chapter three of the story. The sequence is originally from the fifty-year-old Mexican movie she was in. Like in the previous issue, Fritz is digitally inserted so she's right next to Maria. Later revealed in the book that Danny Chulo carried that out.
