Trivia

• Odin confuses Fandral's name with Balder's at one point in this issue.
• Oldar the Oracle recaps the origin of the Hulk through rhyme. In the retelling the Hulk is colored green, even though he was originally colored grey in Incredible Hulk #1.
• There are two spelling errors in this issue. Scepter is spelled sceptor, and a portion of the Hulk's dialogue includes the word "to" when it should actually read "too".
• In this issue, the Executioner mentions his previous encounter with the Hulk, in Tales to Astonish #77 per a footnote - but that supposed encounter took place in an alternate future (Earth-6676), thus Executioner from Earth-616 should not know about that.
