Notes | Silver-Age Superman tribute, and this citadel is very similar to his Fortress of Solitude. Next appearance in Big Bang Comics (Image, 1996 series) #12 (July 1997). Actual title on this story misspells "citadel" as "citidel", but the correct spelling is used in the table of contents in this issue, showing the intention. |
