Blackhawk #223

The cover of Blackhawk #223 poses a genuinely clever visual puzzle: three versions of Mr. Quick-Change appear simultaneously — one in a top hat and suit, one in red, one in green — each delivering or receiving a flurry of blows, with little energy bursts punctuating the brawl against a vivid yellow background. The tagline "One Man — With an Army of Deadly Identities!" sets up the shape-shifting villain threat at the heart of France E. Herron's story, with cover art by penciler Dick Dillin and inker Charles Cuidera conveying real kinetic chaos in that compact Silver Age format. Chuck gets the spotlight billing this month, and with a villain who can apparently be everywhere at once, it's easy to see why the Blackhawks have their hands full.
