Blackhawk #56

From Quality Comics' September 1952 lineup comes this thoroughly gripping installment of Blackhawk, featuring Reed Crandall's cover art at its most dramatic. Two Blackhawks in their distinctive blue uniforms open fire from a rooftop as an enormous, spike-studded red War Wheel rolls through a town below, crushing buildings and sending tiny figures scattering in panic. The cover's bold challenge — "Can It Be Stopped?" — perfectly captures the sense of scale and menace that made this series such a standout of its era.
