Notes
- Starting this issue, the magazine is 36 pages long.
- Island of Death
- Zastor's sponsor is identified only as "a powerful totalitarian nation," and the government official who makes the deal is not named. He is captured alive, on Blackhawk Island, after which his disposition is unknown.
- Aircraft flying from the unnamed totalitarian nation approached Blackhawk Island from the West/Northwest. They might or might not have flown there directly. None survived to say which.
- This issue's Chop Chop story is reprinted in Blackhawk #82.
- Invisible Men
- The "Society of Assassins" was hired by "enemy powers," to stop a "peace conference." No conferee nations or enemy nations, and no heads of state, are identified.
- Spectra and her captured Invisibility Robes were turned over to "the proper authorities," who planned to scientifically analyze them. Their fabric is treated with a special chemical dye, that refracts all light waves, and makes them appear almost invisible, in normal lighting. A man wrapped in this material also casts no shadow.
- Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was:
- "Voice of the Idol" (non-Blackhawk text story)
Trivia
- Per this issue's 3rd story, 1st page, 2nd panel, Andre smokes a pipe and has a cat.
