Secret Origins #6

Part of DC's "Line of Super-Stars" reprint series, this 1974 issue promises origin stories for two very different corners of the DC universe. Nick Cardy's cover art neatly divides the action: the top panel features Superman soaring alongside Supergirl and Legion members while clutching a "Legion of Super-Heroes" banner, surrounded by inset portraits of additional Legionnaires, while the bottom panel spotlights the steely-eyed Blackhawk in his signature dark uniform, a green WWII-era propeller plane streaking past behind him. If you've ever wanted a single affordable package — just 20 cents in 1974 — collecting the backstories of both a futuristic super-team and a wartime aviation hero, this is a satisfying find.
