Notes
- In Devil's Squadron, Vernor City, New Delbro, and the Capital City of Amabar are all important cities, in the same region; the region is not identified.
- Vampire Men of Kunwalo!
- The admiral is introduced on page 1 as "Radford" but starting on page 3 he's called "Bradford."
- Blackhawk gets head-konked unconscious with a native war club.
- Wherever the vitally important and inadequately militarized Zuar Canal Zone is, it's in the Tropics. The indigenous tribal people are instigated by the fake "Vampire Men" to go to war against "the White Men," but in the artwork, all three groups have got the same skin color.
- At this story's end, the Blackhawks have either captured some of the Vampire Men's flying harnesses, or missed a great opportunity to do so. The chronicles are ambiguous.
- In Terror of the Crimson Hoods, the Mayor of Kwang-Shu is White. Only two other Kwang-Shu citizens are clearly visible, and both of them are White too.
- Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was: "Man-Killer" (text story).
