Origin of Blackhawk retold



I noticed the campaign poster on page 2 of this retelling of the origin of Blackhawk:

PEOPLE OF VALNADIA
ELECT ME
DICTATOR
OR I SHALL BRING
DESTRUCTION
AND HAVOC!

Now that is a snappy campaign slogan!

The story is from Blackhawk #71, December 1953. Dick Dillin and Chuck Cuidera did the artwork. The were kept on as the art team after DC bought the characters from Quality Comics and began publishing in 1957.
