Notes

• Last monthly issue for 1988. Beginning next issue, Action Comics changes its title and publishing format to Action Comics Weekly.

• Originally, the Hawkman and, subsequently, Hawkwoman that appear in this issue were intended to be the Silver Age Katar and Shayera Hol. However, with the retructured continuity brought about because of Hawkworld (Volume 2), their appearances here have been retroactively allocated to Fel Andar and Sharon Parker.
• "True Love" is reprinted in Lois Lane: A Celebration of 75 Years.
  

Trivia

• The first indication of Maggie Sawyer's homosexuality is hinted at in this issue.
