Blackhawk #251

Marked as "1st in a Spectacular New Series!" and bearing the bold declaration that "They're Back — The Greatest Fighting Team of All!", Blackhawk #251 kicks off DC's 1982 revival with a cover by Dave Cockrum that puts the whole squadron front and center: Blackhawk himself charges forward in his iconic blue uniform with the hawk emblem on his chest, pistol raised, while his teammates surge behind him armed and ready — including the smaller, colorfully dressed Chop-Chop — all set against a sky filled with warplanes and erupting flames. Inside, Mark Evanier scripts and Dan Spiegle illustrates "A Time to Fight... a Time to Die!", promising exactly the kind of aerial adventure action the team has always delivered. If you've been waiting for the Blackhawks to return to the skies, this is a very satisfying place to start.
