Veterans Day is an official United States holiday honoring all armed
service veterans. As a salute to my fellow military vets, the Catacombs offers “The
Bubbles of Doom” from Blackhawk #90 (July 1955); originally published by
Quality Comics, written by Dick Wood and illustrated by Dick Dillin (future Justice
League of America artist) & Chuck Cuidera. The Blackhawk Squadron, usually
just called the Blackhawks, were a small team of World War II-era ace
pilots of varied nationalities, each typically known under a single name (either their given name or their surname). Their long-running comic book series
was created by Will Eisner, Chuck Cuidera, and Bob Powell, but
the artist most associated with the feature is Reed Crandall. In
other words, Blackhawk was one of the most consistently beautiful adventure comics ever
produced. During its heyday, the series spawned a film serial, a radio
series and a novel. A recent revisionist reboot was, to put it mildly, “fugly”
(look it up). The Catacombs acknowledges "The Digital Comic Museum",
as the source of this classic comic story. Note: The copyright for this
issue, its contents and artwork belong to the original publisher and/or creators and is reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes. Enjoy!
