Gwandanaland Comics #816

This 2017 Gwandanaland collection reprints Military Comics #21–43, gathering a substantial run of Blackhawk's wartime adventures in a single volume. Alex Kotzky's cover art — reproduced from Military Comics #23 — puts Blackhawk in sharp blue uniform, trading blows with a bare-chested opponent while a macabre necklace of shrunken heads hangs ominously from a nearby tree, all under the breathless tagline "Does King Kono Add Blackhawk's Head to the Necklace of Shrunken Heads?" It's a vivid snapshot of the pulpy, high-stakes thrills that made these "Stories of the Army and Navy" so compelling, and having over twenty issues collected together makes this a genuinely satisfying read.
