Maybe the greatest comic book cover EVER:
Why?
First of all, these:
Ah, how hip and trendy such Spanglish phrases must have seemed back in 1966!! In the post-"Yo quiero Taco Bell" era, we're so jaded. But back then...way bueno!! It only gets better when we learn that the title of the story is "El Blackhawk Peligroso!"
Then, of course, there's this:
You know, we really need more "talking heads off to the side commenting on the cover action" covers, don't we? Especially when those talking heads are whispering to each other, rather than actually talking.
And when those talking heads are a stereotypical Frenchman and a stereotypical "South American," well, only hilarity can ensue, si?
Finally, there's this guy:
Yellow trunks. Awesome.

I have this comic, and it's as awesome as you might think (though the cover might be the best part).
