Trivia
- Creator Jim Starlin is known to recycle names and concepts from his stories. Between 1976-1979 he wrote and penciled five short stories for Warren Publishing's book "Eerie" about Darklon the Mystic; one of his ancestors was Darklore II. Darklon even slightly resembles Marvel's Darklore and is also missing his left eye.
- In that same issue Doctors Hoffstaedter and Bell and the Wildwood Hospital from Warlock #13 had cameo appearances, and Barry Bauman was mentioned.
- The name also slightly resembles that of (Syzygy) Darklock, the wizard from Dreadstar whose left eye is replaced by a cyborg implant, another earlier Starlin creation.
