Stories by unknown. Art and Cover by Dick Dillin & Charles Cuidera. Three stories! "The Weapons That Backfired" - Once a year, in conjunction with the 'Inventor's Club,' the Blackhawks test out new inventions that may lend themselves to industrial use, such as the Flying Buzz-Saw, or the Mechanical Caterpillar, or the Radio Man, a giant robot. Hearing reports of strange goings on, a group of reporters discover the testing. Shortly after, the machines are stolen by Baron Kram and his henchmen, who proceed to test the machines in their own way. Plus: "The Invalid Blackhawk" - While stopping a robbery, Blackhawk is injured and must be confined to a wheelchair for a few weeks. But when an ordinary wheelchair won't allow him to continue to lead the team, he has a new wheelchair designed, suitable for the leader of the Blackhawks. And: "The Isle of Giants" - The Blackhawks track Dr. Vokar and his henchmen Hack and Frisco to a Carribean Island. But the three flee into the stormy ocean rather than be captured. When they're shipwrecked on a deserted island, they find that eating the fruit grown there causes them to grow into giants, which the Blackhawks discover when they follow them there. Also: 1-page text story "Decision in the Desert"! 32 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
