In the '90s, TSR produced several comic books. Many of these were based on some of the RPG settings TSR produced. The Comic-Module format often included either RPG stats for characters appearing in the comic, sometimes included campaign setting information for running the comic's setting, or sometimes the extra material was a miniature game.

Warhawks was a science fiction time travel setting for Top Secret/S.I. that was exclusively presented through the comic-modules. It seems the run lasted for nine issues. 1-4 titled simply Warhawks parts 1 through 4 (of 4). Issues 5 and 6 were titled Warhawks 2050. And Issues 7 through 9 were titled Warhawks Battle of Britain parts 1 through 3 (of 3).

It appears that there might have been at least two more issues. There is an entry on Amazon.com for an issue 11 called Warhawks/Timehawks. Where can I find out more about those issues?

After some hunting around, I've concluded that what you're looking at is actually an artefact of the way in which ISBN numbers are assigned. The comic apparently enjoyed a run of nine issues under the title "Warhawks". The following year, the publishers also registered the same comics under a secondary title ("Warhawks/Timehawks") which is why the titles actually seem to run up to #18 on some websites.

Without speaking to the publisher, there's no way to know why they did this (probably some legal mumbo-jumbo involving foreign editions) but I'm quite confident that all of the ISBN numbers seem to lead back to the same set of nine original comics and that there was never a #10 edition.
