☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the early Silver Age adventures of the Blackhawk squadron, reprinting their appearances from Blackhawk #133–168 and Showcase #101–106 in DC's budget-friendly black-and-white format. The team of international ace pilots faces Cold War threats, bizarre villains, and occasional supernatural menaces under the leadership of the enigmatic Blackhawk.
In "The Threat from the Abyss," the Blackhawk team is thrown into chaos when their leader seemingly falls in battle—leaving the remaining members to confront the War Wheel, the Flying Tank, and Killer Shark’s Iron Octopus, all controlled by the enigmatic Question Mark. With the team’s unity tested and their leader missing, Chuck uncovers a shocking truth: the Question Mark is actually Blackhawk in disguise, using the crisis as a test to see who among them can rise to lead in his absence. Written by Dave Wood and illustrated by Dick Dillin with inks by Charles Cuidera, the cover by Dick Dillin and Charles Cuidera captures the intensity of the moment.
