General Notes

First issue under the Vertigo imprint.

Lady Johanna Constantine's gravestone is seen on the isle where Orpheus "lives"; born 1760, died 1859.

Although Orpheus is clearly present, alluded to and even conferred with by Dream, he is unseen and unnamed in the issue and his conversation with Dream takes place off-panel.
