Notes
- Storm King
- Five Central European cities are scoured from the earth by artificial windstorms. Afterward this is never mentioned again.
- All six Blackhawk Jets are blown out of the sky by the Storm King's giant barometric weapon. This makes forty-four Lockheed F90s lost since 1950.
- Bubbles of Doom
- Blackhawks have a Mole Machine. No explanation is made for where they've been keeping it or how long they've had it, but it's natural that they would. They captured one of Dr. Darkson's "Termite Tanks" back in Blackhawk #57, and have certainly got the tools and skills to reverse-engineer it.
- Karlok, fleeing from Blackhawk, blunders into one of his own generators, shorts out the electrical circuits and perishes.
- Villainess Who Smashed the Blackhawk Team
- Andre's jet is abandoned in Red territory. So that's forty-five F90s lost.
- Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was:
- "Trap For Trappers" (text story)
