I imagine this is not allowed on the site.
I picked it up back in 2009 when I was in New Zealand for my daughter's wedding.

It looks like it is from 1970 according to the website.

Color cover, black and white inside.
68 pages of goodness!

Hi B, yeah, it reprints Blackhawk #241 (June-July 1968) according to your link.  Much too late for DCM.
But a nice find for you.

paw broon:
In case it's of interest, there were 2 British Blackhawk titles reprinting American stories.  The first was published by TV Boardman, late '40's to about 1954. Not full colour, rather a 3 colour comic, but one of the issues, #15 featured the second story re-drawn by Denis McLoughlin.  I've never seen it, which is annoying. The Blackhawk title ran to 15 issues but numbering was shared with other Boardman titles, incl. Roy Carson; Swift Morgan; Buffalo Bill.  Blackhawk stories were also reprinted in Boardman Annuals.
The second series was published by Thorpe & Porter  (but, despite GCD, it's possible they or later issues showed Strato in the indicia) after Boardman lost the licence, and ran for 36 issues from '56 - '58.  These were 68 page, square bound, colour cover comics with b&w interiors. 
You'll find Boardman covers here, and you'll see the story often starts on the cover - or there isn't really a cover, the comics being printed on the same stock throughout:-

If any of you fancy a look at some Boardman titles, not Blackhawk, needless to say, we have a small selection on CB+:-

Hope I haven't bored you too much.
