Annotations
- From an article entitled "'Cerebus' goes bi-weekly to catch up before #100" from Comic Buyer's Guide #701 this issue shipped on May 4th, 1987, only two weeks after issue #95.
- p. 12 - 13: The scroll that Powers had was in ancient Pigt according to Astoria. Is this a hint at a connection between the Pigts and the Lion of Serrea?
