Comment(s):
- The chronological information for this series differs from that of the rest of the series in the Unofficial DC Index Series, as Walker Gabriel not only appears in both the past, the present, and the future but also at various different ages himself. In this issue we meet a 23 year old Gabriel, as well as a 30 year old Gabriel and in two other minor appearances, one at old age and one somewhere in between his two major appearances. To be able to follow the chronology of Walker Gabriel each "version" will be treated as seperate characters until one version ages into the next version.
- The 23 year old Walker Gabriel first appears in 1998 and then in 1873 in this story. The 23 year old Gabriel appearances flow seemingly straightforward from issue to issue so no chronological info will be noted for this "incarnation" unless he makes an appearance in another title than Chronos or in a flashback to events preceding his first appearance in this issue.
- The thirty year old Walker Gabriel appears in 1960 and then at Chronopolis on pages 1 through 7, then in 1998 and during the Jurassic age on pages 14 through 16. So far this is the only appearances of the 30 year old Walker Gabriel.
- This issue also introduces the Chronosuit and Chronopolis, a city out of time.
