| Boyville Brigade:
* Moi Yutong, real or impostor, isn't in this story.
* Colonel Ames isn't the Brigadiers' commander, he's just meeting them for the first (and last) time. |
|
| Moi Yutong appeared in Feature Comics #56 (May 1942) and Feature Comics #57 (Jun 1942) only. She was an ally of Rusty Ryan and the Boyville Brigadiers. Grand Comics Database lists her as a member of the Brigadiers, which she was not, long after she disappeared from the strip. |
