American Update: Hawkman – the First Ten Issues! (Minus #4)…
*DC: DC having recently announced the return of Hawkman in the modern DCU, we seize the opportunity to remind you of when Hawkman was actually good, with the first ten issues (minus #4, the previously-listed Zatanna debut) of his 1960s series, following his tryouts in Brave & Bold. By Gardner Fox, illustrated by Murphy Anderson, this version of the classic character ditched the 1940s reincarnation angle for science fiction. Katar and Shayera Hol, man-and-wife police officers from the planet Thanagar, came to Earth to use weapons of the past and science of the future against the crimes of today. Shadow thieves, random sky-gods, flying gorillas and a miscellany of menaces pit their wits and weapons against our daring duo, in tales that were exciting, inventive and playful! Issue #1 (pictured) is GD p £40; grades and prices of the others may be seen in our online catalogue, but they do carry 30th Century’s Seal of Approval.
