Among the items in Jono's collection are More Fun Comics #9 (March 1936), Action Comics #1 (June 1938), the first appearance of Superman, Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), the first appearance of Batman, and Marvel Mystery Comics #1 (October 1939), the first publication of Marvel Comics' predecessor Timely Comics.
The troll frequently refers to Jono as "gason." This is an Irish term of affection for a young boy.
