The Gladiators of Blackhawk Island - A millionaire, Fred K. Cash, offers up a group statue to commemorate the Hawks. In return, Cash asks the Black Knights to battle one another in a series of matches to prove which one is the best combatant. Unbeknownst to the Hawks, Cash is the leader of a gang that wants control of the Hawks' island base. He plans on killing the team with radioactive chalk bullets used in the weapons for the different matches.

The First Interplanetary War ... Attack and Counterattack - A 2 page non-Blackhawk, science-fiction story that drops the reader into the middle of a war between Earth and Mars in the year 2007.

20,000 Leagures Beneath the Earth - The Mole, a madman who uses an Earth-drilling machine to capture and enslave miners, issues a challenge to the hawks to try to stop him. He traps them and, breaking Blackhawk's will, forces the team into slave labor.

Text story: " Miniature Men of War"

The Winged Goliath - The Condor Valley Dam has broken. Treacherous air currents make it impossible for the Hawks to attempt air rescue via planes, so by using an enlarging ray from their island war museum, the Hawks enlarge Blackie, their hawk mascot, to save the day. But things go awry when he becomes uncontrollable.
