Blackhawk #231

From 1967's "New Blackhawk Era," this DC issue announces its stakes right on the cover: the team is getting clobbered one by one. Dick Dillin and Charles Cuidera's cover depicts a chaotic multi-scene assault — a figure in blue taking a sparking punch, another teammate tumbling through the air in a silver suit, and a third going down in golden armor amid a watery explosion, all while Blackhawk himself looms large above it all. With Bob Haney writing and the story titled "Target: Big-Eye," this issue promises the kind of relentless, high-stakes action that made this era of Blackhawk such a bold reinvention.
