[4] Truman stated that elements of the personalities of series leads Leo Kragg and Tim Kida were drawn from those of himself and Snyder, noting the former reflected his pessimism and the latter the artist's optimism.

[3] He drew parallels in the relationship between Kragg and Kida and that of a closeted Edwardian homosexual with a subservient houseboy, but felt a further examination of the characters' sexuality was not a story angle he would explore.

[19] Eclipse distribution manager Sean Deming claimed the original title had been penalised by difficult market condition, and felt it could find an audience with those disappointed by DC Comics' revival of The Shadow.

[20] Truman also contributed a short 'interlude' Prowler back-up story for the first issue of Total Eclipse, with art from Brent Anderson,[22] and was impressed by editor Fred Burke's co-ordination of the series.

[27] Leo Kragg - a former stockbroker who lost most of his fortune in the Wall Street Crash - was pro-workers' union, and fed up with the injustice perpetrated by the rich became the gun-wielding Prowler.

He waged a brutal war on crime and injustice in the 1930s and 1940s, building up a second fortune merchandising the Prowler, before retiring when his alleged socialism drew attention from the McCarthy trials.

[28] Reviewing The Prowler in White Zombie for Amazing Heroes, David Peatle considered himself a fan of the character but was disappointed with the one-shot itself due to Price's meandering and undisciplined script.

[11] In the foreword for his novel Book of Secrets, author Chris Roberson recalled liking The Prowler due to the concept of the title being handed down from mentor to student.
