Polar bear
See main article: Polar bear
Walt's father, Michael, threw the comic book into the fire after questioning him as to where he got it. Soon after, Walt was attacked by a polar bear similar to the one featured in the comic book. ("Special") As a child, Walt had received a gift of a stuffed polar bear from Michael. ("Adrift")
Castle
On the next page of the comic book, there is an image of a castle or fortress in the middle of the ocean surrounded by a giant, glass dome. ("Special") Later, in Season 2, Desmond returns to the Island, telling the survivors that the island is "like a snow globe. There's no way out." ("Live Together, Die Alone")
Translation
The English translation for the comic book Walt is reading is more or less as follows:
- On the page with the polar bear, it reads: "It's a bearskin rug. With the bear inside."
- The page with dialogue reads: (Flash) "What are your plans now? And how will it affect you to tell us this? For all intents and purposes, we are your puppets." (Alien X, whose head looks like Michael's) "My plan is to die. Because of Gunther and you, I am plagued with sickness. But I will share my pain." "We understand how you feel. What we did half a century ago was bad, and what we did since then was further away from any type of forgiveness."
- The next page shows the Green Lantern saying, "Hello. I will allow you to enter."
Synopsis
| “ |
Green Lantern and Flash attacked and defeated a crashed alien known as "Alien X", without checking to see if it was hostile. Realizing their mistake, they hid the ship where it could not be found. Alien X, who had developed cancer as a result of testing at a government lab, escaped fifteen years later. It was not a coincidence when the original Green Lantern and Flash disappeared at the same time. Their wives called on the modern Green Lantern and Flash, who found the ship, but it was blown up by Alien X. The story continues in Faster Friends #2. | ” |
Trivia
- The animated Justice League cartoon, set in the same universe as the comic, featured episodes called "Tabula Rasa" and "Hearts and Minds". These are both Lost episode titles.
- Many of the Lost writers and production team are professed fans of the comic book genre and/or former/current comic writers themselves.
