Blackhawk #246

The cover by Dick Giordano drops you right into the chaos: a blue-uniformed fighter delivers a devastating flying kick against an armored opponent amid a burst of explosive force, while teammates rush in from behind — all against a fiery red backdrop that practically radiates danger. The tagline "Too Late, Blackhawk! It's a Battle to the Death and You Lose!" and the cover blurb pitting "Seven Fighting Men vs. Anti-Man — the Deadliest Super-Foe of All!" set up a genuinely grim situation for DC's aerial adventurers. Inside, writer Steve Skeates and artist Ric Estrada bring "Death's Deadly Pawn" to life, making this 1976 issue a solid pick for fans of hard-hitting, team-driven action comics.
