“Lady Blackhawk's Crime Chief”

Something has gone terribly wrong with Blackhawk — the cover of issue #161 shows him crackling with an eerie white energy aura as he blasts lightning bolts at his own teammates, sending one Blackhawk flying through the air while two others scramble for cover on the ground below. The cover tagline "The Human Dynamo!" and the panicked speech bubble — "What happened to Blackhawk? He's shooting lightning bolts at us! Hit the dirt!" — perfectly set up a mystery that's hard to resist. Dick Dillin's pencils and Sheldon Moldoff's inks make this 1961 DC ten-center a vivid, kinetic snapshot of a team pushed to its breaking point by one of their own.
