- This story is a parody of the Captain Atom story "The Little Wanderer" by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko from Charlton Comics' Space Adventures #35, where a boy travels through space while dreaming and Captain Atom has to revive him.
- The show Danny is watching, Strange Suspense Stories, is named after the Charlton comic book. The episode of the show, "The Silver Lady From Venus", is named after the title of a Captain Atom story from Space Adventures #42.
