Blackhawk #75

This Quality Comics issue from 1954 puts the whole Blackhawk squadron front and center — their seven familiar faces ring the masthead — while the cover by Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera plunges straight into mayhem, with a massive airborne cannon-craft unleashing a torrent of rockets and explosions across a chaotic battlefield. Uniformed figures scramble in every direction as a parachutist descends through the smoke-filled sky and a red-clad figure dashes for cover amid the carnage. "The Flying Cannon!" promises exactly the kind of high-altitude, high-stakes action that made Blackhawk one of the most energetic adventure titles of the era.
