Notes

• Blackhawk:
  • This story is the eighteenth appearance of the team's North American F-86 Sabrejets, and so far no character and no caption has mentioned the change, or called the new aircraft anything more specific than "Blackhawk Planes."
  • Doctor Rallway and Chop Chop are old acquaintances from World War II.
  • The unnamed "Colony" where this story is set is controlled by an outside national power. The Colony looks like it's in Europe, on a "forgotten frontier," Varozek considers it an "out-of-the-way corner of our empire," and it's 1949, therefore he's with the Reds.
• Also featured in this issue of Modern Comics were:
  • Blackhawk: "Ice Cap Escapade" (text story).
  • Fuzzy by Jack Cole
