Notes

• First issue for Editor Alfred Grenet, and first monthly issue.
• The Forbidden City of Dabat
  • This story has a prologue which happened nearly three year earlier, and in the prologue the Blackhawks were flying the Lockheed F-90Bs. Blackhawk is confusing.
  • Chop Chop gets head-konked unconscious with a pistol butt; this is at least his eighth concussion. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
• Terror Island
  • Cora Bunsen and her father, Dr. Howard Bunsen, were last seen in Blackhawk #21.
  • The Civil Aeronautics Commission gave the Blackhawk Squadron's flight plans to Cora Bunsen.
  • Andre gets head-konked unconscious with a pistol butt; that's at least his ninth concussion. Chuck gets head-konked unconscious with a tommygun stock; that's his fourth concussion. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
• The Royal Goblet of Imra
  • In 1950 Imra was a newly formed republic, with a presidential palace, where former aristocrats were retained as menial servants, but allowed to conceal their identities. A year earlier, the Blackhawk Squadron had helped Imra gain independence, but the ruling coalition was flimsy, and actual fisticuffs broke out between "rotten Royalists" and "filthy Republicans" at a presidential banquet. This schism was connived into existence by the deposed queen, Fata, posing as a banquet waitress. The visiting Blackhawks were able to sort out and smooth over the situation with a minimum of violence.
  • Andre gets head-konked unconscious again, with a heavy goblet; that's at least his tenth concussion. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
• Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was:
  • "Cured By Courage" (text story)
