Blackhawk #107

This December 1956 Quality Comics issue throws Blackhawk headlong into aerial chaos, with cover art by Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera depicting him riding a one-man helicopter platform — a compact rotor craft marked "U.S.A." — while a swarm of similarly equipped enemy riders fills the sky around him. Below, soldiers scramble atop military tanks, making clear that the skies and the ground are both battlegrounds in "The Winged Menace." It's a wonderfully inventive Cold War-era cover that captures the series at its gadget-forward, high-flying best.
