Description

There is an interesting story behind this commission, for the longest time I have wanted someone to recreate the cover to Blackhawk 18. It is just a great scene depicting the Dark Knights in all their World War II glory. Dick Giordano was one of the first persons I thought of because of his use of blacks. I mailed off the request, Dick agreed to do it and a couple of weeks later mailed me back saying he was having a bit of an issue with the commission. Basically he had tried a couple of layouts but came to the conclusion, �Crandall got it right the first time.� Little wonder that Dick tried to get him to pencil the final two issues of Blackhawk back in the late 60s.

Dick offered to create a new image of the Blackhawk team if I was willing. My only suggestion was go ahead and make this the Blackhawk cover you never got to draw.

If DC ever does another Archive Blackhawk book I�ve got their cover image.

Enjoy

This is the "LOST" Blackhawk cover as far as I'm concerned and thank you for bringing it to light.
