  • 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.
• 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)
