American Update: 1st Hawkman in Brave & Bold #34 and Hawkman #1
*DC: In the wake of the successful Silver Age revivals of Flash and Green Lantern, DC decided to try one of their most popular Golden Age characters, Hawkman, recast in a ‘Space-Age’ mode. This version was Katar Hol, police officer sent from Thanagar to study Earth law-enforcement customs, and his helpmate Hawkgirl was no silly debutante as in the original, but rather his colleague in policing, and his wife. A husband-and-wife superhero team was virtually unheard-of at that time, and Gardner Fox’s scripting, gave equal time to both Hawks. Superbly illustrated, first by Joe Kubert, then by Murphy Anderson, the Hawk’s adventures combined a true partnership of equals with derring-do all over Earth and on other worlds. We’re proud to have the first Hawkman revival issue, Brave & Bold #34, and the first issue of the ongoing series Hawkman, fresh into in stock; the #34 is an attractive VG+ cents copy, with minimal corner & spine wear, but vivid cover colour and excellent interiors; on sale at £265. The Hawkman #1, again very nice with only moderate spine wear, is GD/VG p £60. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
