Indexer Notes

* McKenzie misspelled "MacKenzie."
* Leonard McKenzie is said to be 24 when he married Fen in 1920, making 1896 the year of his birth.
* Namor encountered Krago before in an undocumented story.
* Numerous online sources state that Lymondo’s first name is Gerard, but there is no textual evidence to support it in any of his three appearances.
