Number 2233: Blackhawks caught in communist time trap

The communists have finally got Blackhawk where they want him. They have caught him and his Blackhawks gang and taken them into the future, to 2100, a time when the commies have conquered the world. They supposedly took over the United States in 1965. The world in which they have taken the Blackhawks looks exactly like those magazine articles common in the 1940s and '50s, previews of “the world of the future,” replete with flying cars.The commies also wear abbreviated costumes, as if they stepped out of Planet Comics.

Blackhawk leads his tiny gang, still a potent force for Democracy, against the  sinister plot of world Communism.
