Notes One of the early stories in this series where Reggie and Veronica are members of C.R.U.S.H.; in later stories they would become part of P.O.P. and fight new villains. Stores on the street include "Vic's Trading Post," referring to colorist Victor Gorelick, and "Dexter Tailor," a reference to Little Archie artist Dexter Taylor.
