Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The cover of The Ensign seen in The Mind Robber was based on the artwork featured on the front page of issue 970 of The Magnet from 1926. This series is notable as it features the character of Billy Bunter, who was referenced with Cyril in The Celestial Toymaker. The year of publication is also of note as it was the year given by the Master of the Land as to when he disappeared.
