Notes

• The Man Named Plunder: Blackhawk and Hendrickson get head-konked unconscious, with pistol butts. This is at minimum Blackhawk's thirty-first cranial concussion, and is Hendrickson's second concussion.
• The Men From the Asteroid:
  • The Blackhawks are called upon, for the first time, by the "Chief," and are very excited at this development. The bespectacled grey-haired Chief seems to be Harry Truman.
  • Blackhawk gets head-konked unconscious again, with two alien pistol butts. This is at least his thirty-second cranial concussion. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
  • Chuck has all the information pulled out of his brain by an alien machine, temporarily reducing him to amnesiac idiocy. Fortunately the treatment was reversible.
  • The Blackhawks captured and dismantled an alien spaceship.
• This is the last issue of Blackhawk to feature the team's Grumman XF5F Skyrockets. Next issue, they'll be flying North American F-86 Sabre jets.
• Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was: "Senorita From Ecuador" (text story)
