☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe cover story features Blackhawk battling the Thunder Bird, a skull-faced villain. Inside, a comedic story depicts a con artist scheme involving counterfeit jewelry—a fortune teller and her associate attempt to swindle marks using imitation diamonds and pearls, with complications arising when a theater director becomes entangled in their plot. The story concludes with romantic misunderstandings and the fortune teller's warnings about bad luck proving prescient for one of the marks.
When a mysterious creature called the Thunder Bird brings down cargo planes near Thunder Mountain, Blackhawk and his squadron investigate—only to discover the menace may be far more human and calculated than legend suggests. As the Blackhawks close in on the truth behind the crashes, they'll have to outfly and outfight an enemy determined to keep the skies clear of competition. This adventure pits the dark knights of the skyways against sabotage, deception, and one of their strangest cases yet.
