Comment:	Good images & color pops out nicely! Origin of Uncle Sam, cover by Fine & Eisner. Jack Cole art inside. This title becomes Blackhawk with #9.

Comment:	Good quality scan. A little ink bleeding makes some pages difficult to read, but this looks like deterioration of the source material, not a problem with the scan itself.
