Blackhawk #12
In "The Cellblock in the Sky," a disgruntled architect named Mr. Gaol dons the guise of the Jailer after his prison design is rejected, turning his own innovations against the Blackhawks in a high-stakes game of capture and containment. With art by Dick Dillin and inks by Charles Cuidera, this 1956 thriller blends espionage and architectural ingenuity in a taut, suspenseful tale. The cover, also by Cuidera, captures the tension with a striking image of the Jailer’s looming presence.
