Behind the scenes
- Most of the plot set in the past is explicitly stated to happen in 1652.
- When the story was published in Sweden, it was edited so the story was about the 15th Phantom instead of the 5th Phantom, to be in line with the previously published edit of the story "Captain Amazon - Pirate Queen". This edit was later used in Norway as well.
