Modern Comics #51

Modern Comics #51 (July 1946) finds Blackhawk — dressed in his signature dark uniform with an emblem on the chest — striking a cool, watchful pose against a rocky outcrop while a formation of warplanes sweeps dramatically through the sky behind him. The cover teaser promises "Blackhawk visits Plambar, Ancient City of Evil," hinting at an adventure with a decidedly mysterious, ancient-world flavor. At a dime for 60 pages, this Quality Comics entry — with cover art by Al Bryant — delivers plenty of Golden Age excitement.
