This publication is also known as: Death's Head III #1 or Death's Head (vol. 3) #1.

This is the first issue of the second series titled "Death's Head II." The first series titled "Death's Head II" ALSO began in 1992, but was a four-issue limited series, and should not be confused with this ongoing series (volume 2), which ended up running for 16 issues.

We have seen this issue referred to as Death's Head III #1 or Death's Head (vol. 3) #1, but we believe these designations are confusing. The actual logo on the cover reads "Death's Head II", and the title refers to the main character "Death's Head II" (also named "Minion"), who is the second character known as "Death's Head," being quite a distinct individual from the earlier "Death's Head" robot which was created by Lupex.

Both the four-issue Death's Head II mini-series (which also began in 1992) and the ongoing Death's Head II series used the same "Death's Head II" logo on the cover.
