Blackhawk #226

From the rubble of a crumbling structure, a massive green creature with enormous glowing eyes bursts free, sending red-uniformed Blackhawk squadron members tumbling in every direction — it's a genuinely unnerving image that sells the threat of "The Secret Monster of Blackhawk Island" with real impact. Dick Dillin's pencils and Charles Cuidera's inks give the chaos a kinetic, almost three-dimensional energy, with the men scattered like leaves around the erupting beast. This November 1966 DC issue promises the kind of pulpy, monster-meets-adventure excitement that made the Blackhawk series such a reliable thrill throughout the Silver Age.
