Blackhawk #3

The third book of Howard Chaykin's prestige-format Blackhawk miniseries closes out the 1988 run with a cover as sleek and charged as the era it evokes. Chaykin's artwork puts a uniformed Blackhawk — medals and gold trim on full display — in a close, tension-filled embrace with a glamorous blonde woman in a red strapless gown and long gloves, the stark black background making every detail pop with noir-style intensity. Titled "Iron Dreams & Bloody Murder," this finale promises the same sharp blend of wartime intrigue and sophisticated edge that defines Chaykin's vision of the character.
