Hi all,
Does anyone remember a digest sized anthology reprinting the adventures of characters such as the Jaguar, the Fly, perhaps the Shield, and an espionage type character dressed all in black and riding a motorcycle? Does anyone remember the name of the digest? Who published or when it was released?
If so, could someone please e-mail me at mcruz68@gmail.com. I'd much appreciate it.

Archie's Super-Hero Digest Magazine (http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=32910), published by Archie Comics in 1979. The guy on the motorcycle was The Black Hood.
I rather question the GCD's attribution of this cover to Neal Adams.

It's either a blow-up or a reproduction of a panel (or a collage of panels - I don't remember if the guys in the foreground are from the same panel as Black Hood jumping through the window or not... sadly it's been years since I owned this one) from the Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams/Dick Giordano story which was included in the collection - so it could be Adams.
Edited to add: I just took another look at it. I think I'm leaning your way, Mike (it is Mike, right?) - it looks like a recreation of Adams, not simply a composite or blow up of the actual Adams panels.

Thank you, guys, for the scan and the detailed info. I found it and bought at the SDCC this weekend!
