Trivia
- At nine chapters, this is the second-longest Disney crossover comic story ever made (behind "The Search for the Zodiac Stone"). Each chapter alternates between the two different series until Chapter 5 (with Donald and Scrooge in Chapters 1 and 3, and Mickey in Chapters 2 and 4).
- Chapters 2 and 3 take place at the same time, as revealed in Chapter 9.
- In Chapter 2, Doc mentions that he and Gyro are rival inventors, but in Chapter 8, they are shown to be friends so the rivalry is not serious; they are just two friendly inventors trying to win the same contest.
- Out of all the major villains in the Disney Comics universe, Flintheart Glomgold is the only one to make an appearance, and he appeared in Chapter 3.
- Mickey and Donald have a lot of slapstick humor in Chapter 5, despite the fact that this is an adventure story.
- A lot of the characters in this story interact with characters that they don't usually interact with: Mickey and Donald, Minnie and Daisy, Goofy and Scrooge, Gyro and Doc Static, Pluto and the Nephews.
- This story was the inspiration to a later story known as "The Orb Saga", which was printed in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #673-676.
