Blackhawk #263

Cover artist Gil Kane delivers a punchy October 1983 image that puts Blackhawk and a black-haired woman in blue front and center, both leveling firearms at whatever threat looms behind them — that threat being an enormous, looming red war machine tipping and crumbling under what appears to be heavy fire. Fighter jets streak across the yellow sky in the background, and the rubble-strewn ground hints at a battle already well underway. With Mark Evanier writing, Dan Spiegle on interior art, and a story titled "Only One Survives!", this issue promises the kind of high-stakes aerial and ground action that made Blackhawk a DC staple.
