GI Joe: Blackhawk
Page 1
1–8
Thought some of you might enjoy a detailed look at the GI Joe Blackhawk set.
I've been collecting the Dreams and Visions range of DC Comics GI Joes and this is one set that has eluded me until a while back.
The box art.
The contents.
The set includes a reprint of Blackhawk's first ever appearance. Many of the sets on eBay do not have the comic book included.
The individually numbered certificate that accompanies the set.
Blackhawk in the classic "Black Knight" uniform. A nice head sculpt on a classic Hasbro vintage Joe body. Holster and belt are leather.
Classic vinatge style box art by Don Stivers, the artist for the GI Joe Adventure Team. Note Action Pilot logo.
Original comic art of Blackhawk team member Andre.
The man himself, sporting the 1964 update of the Blackhawks' uniform, again with a real leather belt and holster. The figure is a GI Joe Convention figure, the Desert Jeep Driver, who I thought would make a perfect Andre, with his trademark "Ronald Coleman" moustache.
Andre wearing the Air Rescue kit.
A rear view of the parachute pack. It contains a working yellow silk parachute.
Comic book art showing Stanislau.
Again, a contemporary Joe, the Korean War USAF pilot, bears a remarkable likeness to the big Pole. The parka and pants are lined with yellow quilted fabric.
A rear view showing a brown version of the classic Hasbro Field Radio, this time with a headset instead of a telephone receiver.
An example of the great detailing that has gone into the uniforms.
I've just added two new recruits to my Blackhawk crew team. Here is Blackhawk in the '60s comic book update of the team uniform...
And here is the Blackhawk GI Joe in the uniform...
Chuck Wilson the red-headed Texan member of the Blackhawks...
Again another Classic Collection GI Joe figure has been drafted into the ranks of the Blackhawks to represent Chuck...
Chuck in full uniform...
Blackhawks assembled. "HAWK-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
The big temptation now of course is assembling the whole Blackhawk team in both versions of the uniform - particularly that spiffy looking '40s version. Somebody stop me! 
WOW thats an amazing collection you have there,
{the pauley} Somebody stop me!
I will. their terrible. 
Its OK mate. Each to their own. I'm not a comics person. never heard of em before. Not sure why Hasbro Joe would get involved in this. The use of the brown field radio and fighter pilot helmet was interesting.
ive seen a few of those boxed on ebay usa they seem very collectable a very nice set you have and well done having the comics with the boxed figures
A set that combines GI Joe and DC comics...whats not to like! I've got a couple of copies of this set and a few loose uniform.
Have Dreams and Visions gone? They produced quite an impressive range of sets,Blackhawk, Sgt Rock's easy company, Enemy Ace, Unknown Soldier and the Crew cuts. Is that it?
A Challengers of the Unknown set would have been cool!
Those figures are awesome, used to love those comics and those figures really do it justice. A truly stunning collection mate
Very nice collection & photo upload. Never heard of them before today. Thanks for sharing
