Modern Comics #53

Modern Comics #53 from September 1946 spotlights Blackhawk in fine form — the cover presents a confident, close-up portrait of the ace aviator in his distinctive dark uniform and officer's cap, accompanied by his mascot bird, whose bold black-and-yellow coloring mirrors the squadron's colors. The cover banner proudly promises "Blackhawk Battles the Black Lancers!," setting up a clash that sounds anything but routine, all packed into a generous 60 pages for just a dime. A solid slice of Quality Comics' wartime adventure spirit, carrying forward the legacy of what was once Military Comics.
