Blackhawk #233

DC's Blackhawk #233 from 1967 heralds "the New Blackhawk Era!" with a cover by Dick Dillin and Charles Cuidera that crackles with mid-air mayhem — a hooded villain in blue takes a fierce punch from a red-suited Blackhawk while a second team member in a sleek cyan uniform closes in, guns drawn, all against a backdrop of explosions and billowing smoke below. The story title "Too Late, the Leaper!" promises exactly the kind of high-flying, hard-hitting action the cover delivers so vividly. Bob Haney's writing paired with Dillin and Cuidera's linework makes this an appealing snapshot of the squad in a bold new chapter of their adventures.
