Notes

• In Slavery In Siberia, Blackhawk and Hendrickson each get head-konked unconscious with a rifle stock. This is Blackhawk's fifty-second blunt instrument head trauma, and Hendrickson's fifth concussion.
  • Also Blackhawk gets flogged with a cat-o-nine-tails until he blacks out.
  • Commander Nikishov's head gets either lopped off or shredded, in a skimobile propellor.
• In The Terrible Termite Tanks, Blackhawk gets head-konked unconscious with a handgun. This is his fifty-third blunt instrument head trauma.
  • The Blackhawks capture and operate one of the enemy's Termite Tanks, and rescue their inventor Dr. Darkson, so the United World now is capable of manufacturing these weapons, and the Eastern Bloc has got at least one factory and an unknown number of tanks on hand. But they are never seen or mentioned again.
• City of Armored Men Boris Galub's footsoldiers, clad in electrically powered armor, supplied via long cables, were ineffective against the Blackhawks on the ground, and even more ineffective against their heavily-armed Lockheed F-90Bs.
• Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was "Escape at Dawn" (text story)
