Can you really, truly, ever trust a Russkie...
...especially when you want to do so because you fervently believe they're trying to do the right thing?
When DC bought the Quality Comics line (including both already-published stories and unpublished material) in 1956, Blackhawk was one of the few titles they continued without interruption.
DC's first issue, (#108, from which this tale is re-presented) was published the month after #107, Quality's last issue!
As a result, much of the first few DC-published issues featured stories already in various stages of production.
This particular tale, by writer Robert Bernstein, penciler Dick Dillin, and inker Chuck Cuidera had been completed before the transfer.
You'll note it's a straight adventure/espionage tale, without sci-fi/fantasy elements.
Once the inventory was exhausted, DC dropped the Communist/Russian plotlines until the very end of the original series...which you'll see next week!
