Notes
- "Homespun" is a part of Wendy Pini's long-running ElfQuest saga.
- "Aknaton", "Za!" and "Juliet" are the first three chapters of Jim Starlin's Metamorphosis Odyssey, a story which eventually led to the long-running Dreadstar franchise.
- Tom Orzechowski did Letters on the Metamorphosis Odyssey stories according to the Dynamite Entertainment-Hardcover Dreadstar: The Beginning which was overseen by Jim Starlin himself.
- Earth-8116 is the Designation given to this Universe by the Crew of the "Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe" in their Online-Appendix; since Dreadstar is creator-owned, this designation is to be considered unofficial and will never be listed in any of the Handbooks or any other official publication or statement by Marvel Comics.
- "Elfspire" and "Detour" are illustrated text stories.
