Indexer Notes

Title from inside front cover. First line of dialogue: "Hey dumb-ass, Where do you think you're going?"
Story credit reads "Evan Dorkin with Mike Mignola". Allie says in next sequence that Mignola "suggested this crossover, then mostly set [Dorkin & Thompson] free to do their thing, helping to shape the story a bit, and to polish Hellboy's dialogue."
