Blackhawk #60

From Quality Comics' January 1953 lineup comes Blackhawk #60, promising "The Attack of the Crimson Hoods" in a cover by Reed Crandall that crackles with kinetic energy. The scene is a brawling street melee: Blackhawk himself — in his distinctive blue uniform with the hawk emblem — grapples fiercely with an orange-hooded figure in the foreground, while red-suited, masked Crimson Hoods armed with rifles clash against his teammates across a cobblestone backdrop. With the full Blackhawk squadron's portraits ringing the title and chaos spilling in every direction, this ten-cent issue captures the team's globe-spanning adventure spirit at its most spirited.
