Blackhawk #258

This 1983 DC full-length novel delivers a dramatic milestone for the squadron with a cover promising nothing less than "The End of Blackhawk Island!" Howard Chaykin's cover art echoes the spirit of Iwo Jima, showing the Blackhawks straining together to raise the American flag against the bold black-and-yellow Blackhawk insignia — one figure brandishing a pistol, another gripping a sword, all clad in their signature blue uniforms. Mark Evanier and Dan Spiegle bring the interior story to life, making this an issue that fans of aviation adventure and wartime heroics will want in their collection.
