Hawkman By Gardner Fox, Julius Schwartz, Murphy Anderson Publisher: DC Comics 1966 Having first appeared The Brave and the Bold #34, this title gave the Silver Age Hawkman a series of his own. The original Hawkman was Carter Hall, a native of Earth-2 (an alternate world which was used to explain away the differences between DC’s Golden Age and Silver Age super-heroes). This Hawkman is Katar Hol, a native of the planet Thanagar, but who now patrols Earth-1 (the primary Earth where the modern super-heroes live). Katar and his wife Shayera were police officers on Thanagar who came to Earth to pursue a felon from their world. Armed with flight belts and other gizmos from Thanagar, they catch the crook, then decide to stay on Earth to fight crime as super-heroes. This first Hawkman series is notable not only for the adventures of its colorful lead characters, but also for introducing super-magician Zatanna. ▲ VG CONDITION, with the usual surface wear & slight rubbing to covers from
