- Chuck is 6', 180 lbs.
- Hendrickson is 5' 10", 230 lbs.
- Olaf is 6' 5", 230 lbs.
- Stanislaus is 6', 170 lbs.
- In the 1st story, page 4, panel 2: Dagon's dialogue again notes that Hendrickson is from Free Germany.
- Comrade Dagon spent years filming and taping the Blackhawks in action, and could convincingly impersonate six out of the seven of them.
- 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 are armed with 4 rockets and 2 "jet cannons".
- 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.
- Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was:
- "Rat In a Trap" (text story)
