- In the Blackhawk stories this issue, Chop Chop's appearance is almost completely cartoonish, only with more varied facial expressions. His ears are enormous. In his solo story, he's a full-on caricature.

- The Lockheed F90Cs can be landed by remote control, after their pilots bail out.
- Blackhawk himself was shot down by the Fire Wheel. This is his twenty-first time to be shot down.[1] Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
- Also Blackhawk is head-konked with a pistol butt, but it doesn't knock him out.
- "United World" (U.W.) seems to be the Quality Universe equivalent of NATO.
