Military Comics #31

This August 1944 issue of Military Comics features a striking cover by Al Bryant — a confident, grinning Blackhawk in his trademark blue uniform and peaked cap, framed within a golden circle with a bold eagle looming over his shoulder. The cover scroll teases a feature story pitting Blackhawk against Captain Hitsu and his Suicide Squadron, promising the kind of wartime aerial adventure this series delivered so well. Quality Comics' "Stories of the Army and Navy" banner gives the whole package a patriotic charge that would have leapt right off the newsstands in 1944.
