Issue No. 116

September 1957

Prisoners of the Black Palace - A typhoon forces the Hawks to abandon their planes and land on an uncharted island. There they are made captives by a criminal called Spider's Web and forced into an underground prison where the inmates, composed of thugs who had double-crossed their mob bosses, must produce armaments for the underworld.

The Human Torpedo - The Hawks develop a manual-guided torpedo only for it and Blackhawk to be captured by Octo and his octopus-sub. Octo threatens to use the weapon on a merchant ship but both the torpedo and Blackhawk are kidnapped away from them by mermen, angry about the torpedo that may destroy their underwater city.

The Outcast Blackhawk - During the annual workout, Hendrickson purposely loses the bouts in order to leave the team because he believes an old belt radio he lost on Killer Shark's Island base could spell disaster for his former teammates.
