Notes
- Killer Vulture:
- This story is set in several real countries, which is unusual for a Blackhawk story.
- The Vulture and his mercs invade whole towns, and fight the police, with their bare fists. They don't even carry sidearms. They get away with this for three melees in a row, in Netherlands, in Italy, and versus the Blackhawks.
- Blackhawk gets knocked to his knees by a blow to the head from a vase thrown by Chop Chop. This is his sixty-first concussion.[1]
- Stand-Ins For Death
- Blackhawk gets knocked unconscious by a blow to the head with a rifle stock. This is his sixty-second concussion.[2]
- Each Blackhawk Jet is equipped with multiple inflatable fake Blackhawk Jets, with tow-cables.
- Phantom Raider
- Like the Vulture's crew of raiders, the Phantom Raider's troops apparently carry no weapons. Even when attacked on the ground by the Blackhawks, they fight only with their fists.
- When he gets sidelined with an injury, Blackhawk designates Hendrickson to lead the Squadron.
- Blackhawk gets knocked unconscious by a blow to the head with a rifle stock. This is his third blunt instrument head trauma in this issue alone, and the sixty-third concussion of his career.[3] Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
- Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was:
- "The Perfect Double-Cross" (non-Blackhawk text story)
