Trivia
- He appeared as himself, drawn by colleague Jim Aparo and written by himself, in The Brave and the Bold #124.
- As Haney often took a loose approach to continuity and established characterizations in his The Brave and the Bold stories, fans and creators—beginning with editor Bob Rozakis—retroactively claimed that his stories took place on "Earth-B (for Bob)."
- "Earth-B" was later officialized by various Crisis on Infinite Earths tie-in materials, some of which conflated it with Earth-Twelve.
