The Galley-Wag is captain of the Rose of Nowhere, a balloon-type craft that uses pataphysical rose-propulsion which allows it to cross dimensions and the void of space.
* The Galley-Wag's appearance in this series caused some commotion among readers as the original name given to the character by Upton, "Golliwogg", mutated into a racial slur and his appearance into a racial stereotype (both to Upton's disdain) after unauthorized use of this originally kind and heroic character by other authors (such as Enid Blyton) depicted him as someone with naughty behavior. Alan Moore defended his use of the character during an interview with Pádraig Ó Méalóid on several points, noting the history of the character (which was mostly forgotten in the modern day), that he changed the name of the character to avoid the racial slur which was the only public domain character whose name was changed (for all other name changes, it was to disguise copyrighted characters to avoid lawsuits), that he made the Galley-Wag into an alien to explain away his stereotypical appearance, that only the Upton stories were canon for his Galley-Wag, that he (Moore) had already used famous offensive characters in the series without incident (such as the Chinese villain Fu Manchu), that Upton's original version was one of the few positively depicted black characters at the time Upton wrote her books (the Victorian era) and noted that Upton's original version "was a dignified and respectable figure. His courage and strength of character were ably demonstrated in his picaresque adventures, as was his intellectual acumen."
