Comment(s):

Though not named as such in this issue, "Earth-Forty-Three" was identified in Crisis on Infinite Earths: Absolute Edition (November 2005. Despite the differences between the Earths, it is presumed the rest of the universe is fundamentally the same and thus the Space Sector designations as used by the Guardians of the Universe are applied.
