BLACKHAWK Volume 9

Collects #44-48, 1951-52.

These five new Quality Comics' Blackhawk issues show just why this title was so popular and so long-lived. Reed Crandall provides brilliant covers and at least one lead story each issue, showing the same talent he was using at EC just a year or so after these came out. And the stories of our intrepid squad stay fresh and different with bad girls often leading criminal gangs, dictators, and starting to get a touch of horror tales as comics discovered horror in general. Backup Chop Chop stories by the brilliant Paul Gustavson. Includes all ads including cool house ads for other Quality titles, text stories etc. #44 was the last 52-pager, then they dropped to the standard 36 pages per issue.
