Notes
- Babylon, The Mighty City:
- Blackhawk gets shot down, for the twelfth time.[1] Chop Chop gets head-konked unconscious, for the first time, with a rifle stock. Blackhawk gets head-konked-out, for the twelfth time,[2] also with a rifle stock. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
- Blackhawk kills a lion, with a thrown rock. One of the Blackhawks kills an elephant, with aerial machine-gun fire. The squadron then uses the same tactic on a detail of spear-men.
- Sargon dies in an ammo dump explosion, caused by himself.
- In The Evil of Zobar, the villain poisons himself at the end of the story. Blackhawks and readers have only got Zobar's word for it that this is poison, and not some suspended-animation formula, but Zobar has not returned, in the decades that have passed since this story took place.
- Also appearing in this issue of Blackhawk were:
- Blackhawk: "The Tomb of Tammus" (text story)
- Johnny Doughboy by Bernard Dibble
