I was confused. But yes, that same Zilog Corporation as the Z80. They also did... action comics as promotional material?
The final page, containing disclaimers (presumably from their standard spec sheets?) disclaiming any inaccuracy and warning "Not for use in life support" is adding, not removing, my confusion.
