This hardcover edition reprints the tales of Blackhawk, a young military aviator, that were originally published in the 1940s. As Americans debated the US involvement in Europe, Will Eisner introduced a non-superhero character that sought vengeance against his family's killers by organizing his own personal militia of assistants to battle the Nazis. With his band of freedom fighters - Andre, Olaf, Chuck, Stanislaus, Hendrickson, and Chop-Chop - Blackhawk fought in the air and on land to end the Nazi menace!
