Notes

• The Death Patrol appearing here is not the same as the Death Patrol from the early issues of Military Comics.
  • Blackhawk packs a side arm in this story, and kills one skyjacker by yanking off his gas mask, and another by punching him off the wing of a flying aircraft.
  • Blackhawk gets head-konked unconscious, with a pistol butt, plus a follow-up beating. This is at least his forty-fifth concussion.
  • Amora and her four surviving hench stuntmen were arrested alive by U.S. military authorities.
• Dinosaur Hunter
  • Sign in the museum: "DINOSAUR // reconstructed by // Dr. C. Cuidero"
  • Unlike his role in the Blackhawk stories, Chop Chop is here portrayed as an actual imbecile.
• Timetable of Terror
  • The cockpit of Blackhawk's F-90B is roomy enough for three guys.
  • Blackhawk Squadron can jump into their planes, fly from London to Paris, parachute into town, find a bomb and disarm it, in under twenty minutes.
• Syndicate of Death
  • Costanian police wear 19th-century cavalry uniforms and carry riot rifles.
  • Poster on Police Chief's wall: "REPUBLIKIM DO COSTANIA // Komisarija do Polizia "
  • Label on radio station wall: "Staziona Radio CZPM"
  • Blackhawk is head-konked unconscious, with a rifle stock. This is his forty-sixth cranial concussion.
• Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was:
  • "The Isle of No Return" (text story)
