Blackhawk (1988) #1

Book One (of 3): Blood and Iron. Howard Chaykin revives the World War II fighter pilot and his team in a series that was fairly cutting-edge for its time, with plenty of graphic violence, sex and language, when such things were still rare in mainstream comics. Blackhawk wakes from an alcoholic blackout to find himself mixed up with gangsters, Nazi spies, a corrupt U.S. senator and a plot to steal the atomic bomb. For some reason, this miniseries was never collected into a single volume. Story and art by Chaykin.
