Ever heard of the Sky Wolves? Sure you have, they're DC Comics property called Blackhawk. In this blatant rip-off, you’ve got a squad of experimental aircraft captained by a guy wearing a near exact Blackhawk replica costume, ordering around a bunch of ethnic sterotypes to blow-up Hitler. I really can’t believe Marvel got away with this copyright infringement.
The issue’s only saving grace is a beautiful Sub-Mariner tale that is a fable as to how the first sea horse came about. Adding to the excitement- it’s Mike Mignola’s (of Hellboy fame) first ever work published by Marvel. You can tell he’s a diamond in the rough here. That’s a rare treat worth the price of the book no matter how much Sky Wolves stinks up the issue’s first half.
Rating: 5 out of 10 stars
