Notes
- This issue is set in the short period where the Superman of Earth-One (and all his supporting characters and villains) existed on the post-Crisis New Earth. This period ended when the effects of the Crisis "caught up" with Superman (et al) in The Man of Steel #1.
- This is the last issue of the series to star the Superman of Earth-One (and his supporting characters and villains). Next issue begins a two-part imaginary tale titled, "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?".
- Superman received a scratch on his right cheek during his initial encounter with the werewolf.
- Bill Henderson and Lois Lane appear next in Lois Lane #1. Jimmy Olsen appears next in Lois Lane #2.
- Jonathan J. Wyatt was a Hollywood movie star that Lois Lane had a date with. Mr. Wyatt starred in Through the Mirror which grossed over $125 million in four weeks.
