Notes This story comes between Cole Black #5 (first series) and Cole Black #1 (second series). Creator Rocky Hartberg dropped the issue because it didn't fit in with the direction he wanted to take the detective. Boardman Books published this limited edition in 2006 prior to auctioning off the original art for it.
