In "Blackhawk vs the Fox," the Blackhawks face off against a ruthless German general who defies Hitler’s orders to strike at British forces in the desert, driven by a dangerous ambition to carve out his own empire in Europe. Written by Bill Woolfolk and brought to life with dynamic art by Reed Crandall, inks by Bill Ward, and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1943 wartime tale pits the elite squadron against a cunning enemy whose thirst for power may be as deadly as his tactics. The cover, a striking collaboration by Reed Crandall and Bart Tumey, captures the tension of the clash in bold, dramatic lines.

Capt. Ezra WaltersMr. CarrolHans

When German propaganda claims a decisive victory against an Allied convoy bound for Russia, first mate Mr. Carrol of the cargo ship Black Castle sets the record straight—revealing a harrowing three-day running battle across Norwegian waters where U-boats and Luftwaffe aircraft attacked repeatedly under the command of Captain Ezra Walters. Between torpedo strikes, dive bombers, and coordinated assaults, the convoy fought back with everything they had, and Carrol was there to witness what really happened when myth met the Atlantic.
