- A Clockwork Horror - Letters credit from the letters page of Swamp Thing (DC, 1972 series) #16. The first comic story page offers some winks: a note asks Matt Cable to call Orlando, name of the publisher at DC; Larabee?s testimony is reported by Len Wein; the composite portrait of the Swamp Thing is signed Bernie; Ferret?s sheet indicates as alias Len Bernard, be the first names of the writer and the penciller. The story title "A Clockwork Horror" may have been inspired by the 1962 Anthony Burgess novel, A Clockwork Orange. The name of the village, Burgess, is a tribute to the novelist Anthony Burgess.
- - Letters from Harlan Ellison, Keith Eddy, Steve Stanga, David Stout, Rex Evans.
