Comment: The Camelot seen in this issue is the "original" or first Camelot of the First Arthurian Epoch (also known as the Age of Avallach or the Age of Avalon) 10.000 years ago, somewhere in the 81st Century BC.
This issue marks the first appearance of Castle Revolving, the home of the Queen of Terror and the Undry, the fountain of youth, an inexhaustible cauldron of green energy.
