Modern Comics #100

A satisfying milestone — issue #100 of Quality Comics' Modern Comics arrives in August 1950 with Blackhawk squaring off against a memorably dangerous adversary. The cover, with art by Jerry Fasano, places the crown-wearing Queen Laria in the foreground, her expression sharp and calculating, while Blackhawk in his distinctive blue uniform hoists a hapless red-haired opponent clean off the ground — a vivid promise of the action inside. The cover blurb says it all: "the alluring but dangerous Queen Laria meets her master in Blackhawk," and this centennial issue delivers that confrontation with real Golden Age flair.
