Blackhawk #248

The Bio-Lord dominates this October 1976 DC cover, his massive armored form unleashing a death blast toward a defiant Blackhawk, whose torn uniform hints at the struggle already underway. The cover's bold tagline — "Will Blackhawk halt the death blast of the Bio-Lord, or will he die and the Earth with him?" — sets the stakes with satisfying dramatic flair, while a jet streaking across the background reminds readers of the aviation roots that define the series. Cover art by Pablo Marcos and Vince Colletta gives the confrontation a real sense of scale and menace.
