Notes

  • This issue re-uses the cover art from Blackhawk #19, not #18.
  • Men From the Future
    • Urovaya has always been a democracy, and its citizens are among the most prosperous and free people in the world.
    • Blackhawks are packing sidearms in this story and make brisk use of them.
    • The "Time Globe" is a fake, but it can fly and can turn invisible. The "Future Men's" amazing array of weapons and tools are likewise from the current era, despite their incredible capabilities. All of this stuff was developed by Rhodl's late father. All of this technology was turned over to "the engineers."
    • Rhodl and her surviving invaders are turned over to the Urovayan authorities.
  • This issue's Chop Chop story is reprinted in Blackhawk #75.
  • Invaders From the Inferno
    • According to a Native Legend, Matto Largo is believed to be the land beneath which lies the Inferno of medieval legend. It lays between Brazos and Perotia, and is overrun with tropical-looking vegetation. The "native workers" are never seen, but white people live in Perotia and probably in Brazos too.
  • Sea Monsters
    • The Blackhawk F-90Bs have retractable pontoons.
    • Dukas and at least one of his henchmen get gunned down by the Blackhawks with submachine guns.
    • Blackhawk's remarks at the story's end imply that the Jensen Formula has not been lost or destroyed.
  • Also appearing in this issue of Blackhawk was:
    • "The Man Called Death" (non-Blackhawk text story), on the inside front cover, where usually a solid page of advertising would appear.
