Behind the scenes

• The Australian reprint mistakenly refers to "Jonathon Wild, Part 1" and "Jonathon Wild, Part 2" instead of "Public Enemy Number One".
• The Swedish translation incorrectly uses the term "pantbrev" (deed of trust) instead of the correct term "pantkvitto" (pawnbroker's receipt).
• Speaking with The Phantom outside the pawn broker's office, Mr Donaldson's clothing changes from a green coat with gray pants and black bow tie to a gray coat with blue pants and a red bow tie. His hair changes color from reddish brown to gray. (Which publication? Frew is in black and white.)
