Awesome! Thanks, Timothy.

It may be a bit before we’ll need some more German translated, but I’ll alert you when we do.

Interesting. I thought the wound was being cauterized, perhaps with a hot iron poker, but good points.

Odd after thought…the doctor is using something to sterilize the wound that probably burns a lot, and is wearing gloves. Both practices were rare at best during the Civil War Era. Hell Germ theory wasn’t really accepted until the 1890′s. Is this a very early glimpse of Doc Carver here (panel 2) if indeed he’s old enough to have been a doctor during the war? He’d certainly be smart enough to be on the run from giga-nazis.

Yes, I'd like to help you. I can probably save you some embarrassment. Of course, there will always be experts who are gonna nitpick about historical accuracy issues or ignored literary conventions or whatever, but since DDD really is its own universe, we can just let them blow off steam. You have my email; just send me the stuff you want me to check!

That guy has a pretty huge “outie” belly button. Did that suit’s designer leave behind other designs that would eventually be used to create Nipple Suit Batman?

Known as the Harrison Ford Effect, people experiencing prophetic visions would often comingle the villains from Indiana Jones movies with villains from Star Wars. They would often come to, saying, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

Yup, we call’em GIGA-REICH TROOPERS, but they are no doubt our personal riff on Storm Troopers.

And, the Indy reference is definitely apropos. This volume of DDD is much more influenced by Star Wars and Indiana Jones, whereas the first volume was more influence by Star Trek.

The roller coaster is just going to get more bumpy from here, TKG.

As Samuel Jackson would say, “Hold onto your butts!”
