American Comics Update: Six Of The Best: Adam Strange & Hawkman in Mystery In Space
*DC: One of the most well-received articles posted here during lockdown was the one I wrote on Adam Strange, the interplanetary adventurer, my favourite DC science-fiction hero. So, I can imagine the delight of the readership (self included!) in 1963 when, for a brief few issues, Adam shared the title with another interplanetary hero Hawkman, fresh from his try-outs in Brave & Bold. We’re delighted to present half a dozen issues of Mystery In Space between #82 and #90, including Hawkman’s debut in #87 and the full-length team-up in #90. The finest examples of this sort of thing ever produced, IMHO, and with the best creators. These are mostly lower graded reading copies, providing excellent budget entertainment.
