Notes

• King Cobra:
  • King Cobra is not the same villain as King Cobra, whom the Blackhawks met in Military Comics #19. He is also not known to be affiliated with the female pirate Cobra from Modern Comics #71.
  • Chuck gets shot down. That's rare. Afterward Chuck will be out of action for "many weeks."
  • Blackhawk catches a metal fragment to the back of his head, and is hospitalized by a brain injury, requiring surgery. It doesn't knock him out, but it does cause nervousness, headaches, weakness, and fainting spells.
  • King Cobra gets shot thru the Electric Cannon.
• The Spider of Delanza:
  • United World Headquarters is in London.
  • Blackhawk gets head-konked unconscious, with a pistol barrel. This is his fifty-fourth concussion.
• Last Stand On Suicide Island:
  • Olaf gets wounded by multiple fragments of shrapnel, knocked out, and is hospitalized. This is his third set of ballistic wounds and his seventh knock-out. Stan also is wounded with shrapnel. Stan has been shot once before, this is his second ballistic wound. Chuck gets head-konked with a rifle stock. This is at least his sixth concussion. At story's end, all of the Blackhawks except Andre are hospitalized. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
• This issue's Chop Chop story is reprinted in Blackhawk #90.
• Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was: "The Assassin" (text story)
