The answer is, probably, quite a lot. Earlier comics eras cared little for continuity, and may have been the better for it, so Blackhawk & Co. could gone to the Moon and/or fought killer robots many times -- and always for the first time. Without continuity, it can be different versions of the Moon and the killer robots. Imagination was a premium and they could be more fun. | |

But there is no terrifying killer robot destroyed by fire. pappysgoldenage.blogspot.com/2017/09/… How many times could Blackhawk go to the moon in different issues? How many killer robots could he fight in different issues? | |

By the late 1960s, the Blackhawk story were definitely not set in WWII; however, I'm not sure whether there was a period post-WWII where they were continuously publishing stories still set in WWII (like most of DC's war comics characters - Sgt. Rock, the Haunted Tank, the Unknown Soldier, etc.). | |

Search on "BLACKHAWK", and look at the covers for the 99-issue Quality Comics run, and the 166-issue DC Comics run. In the DC run, odds are you want something prior to 228 (a storyline where the Blackhawks become a short-lives superhero team), and definitely before 244 (243 was the last issue published in the 60s, 244 was the start of a mid-1970s revival). | |
