Blackhawk #264

Blackhawk stands defiant on a bullet-scarred airfield tarmac, pistol raised, as explosions erupt at his feet and smoke billows from aircraft in the background — Gil Kane's cover crackling with wartime urgency. The distinctive hawk emblem on Blackhawk's blue uniform is front and center, a reassuring signal that DC's ace aviator-adventurer is back in fighting form for 1983. With Mark Evanier scripting and Dan Spiegle on interior art, "A Long Ago Land" promises the kind of grounded, character-driven action this series does so well.
