Blackhawk #70

This November 1953 Quality Comics issue puts the entire Blackhawk squad on alert as "The Return of Killer Shark" promises jet raiders rising from the depths of the sea — billed right on the cover as the greatest enemy the team has ever faced. The cover by Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera delivers an arresting image: a dark-clad figure bursting through churning ocean waves, arms outstretched toward a sleek shark-shaped jet screaming overhead, with more of the menacing craft visible in the background. The portrait heads of the full Blackhawk roster frame the title banner, making this a vivid showcase for one of 1953's most energetic adventure series.
