The Temple of Doom

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Credits
Letterer(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: adventure, war
Character(s): Blackhawk (Bart Hawk]; The Blackhawks [Olaf; Hendrickson; Chuck; Stanislaus; Andre; Chop Chop]; Tavis; General Molok (villain, introduction); Moloch the Destroyer (ancient god)
First Line: Moloch the Destroyer was the cruelest of ancient gods! But even more savage was its revival in the hands of a modern demon... General Molok!
Synopsis: Tavis, a defense contractor to the nations of the free world, demonstrates a new “ducted-fan aircraft” (an individual flying platform) to Blackhawk and his men. Ushering them aboard a larger version of the craft that seats all seven Blackhawks, Tavis (from a safe vantage point) activates a remote control that spirits them off to an unnamed Communist nation. There, the waiting General Molok, a dictator and would-be filmmaker, forces the Blackhawks to perform in a propaganda film - with deadly consequences for the Magnificent Seven.

Disclose Notes: Story-ending Blackhawks' flying song:
"We've met the enemy's snare... We've tripped the trap and there... We nailed the wall of freedom tight... We're Blackhawks!"

Unlike the "generic looking" Communist military official on the issue's cover, General Molok looks more like a "communist military-garbed" version of famed film director Alfred Hitchcock. ...Coincidence?
