American Update: Mistress of the Mystic Arts: Zatanna’s debut in Hawkman #4
*DC: While all early issues of Hawkman are superb, with high-flying sci-fi stories by Gardner Fox and luminous Murphy Anderson artwork (not that we’re prejudiced witnesses or anything… ), the most sought-after in recent years is issue #4, featuring the debut of the Princess of Prestidigitation – Zatanna! Zee (as she’s familiarly known), a personal favourite here at 30th Century, is the daughter of DC’s Golden Age magician Zatara, and took her quest for her missing father through the pages of Green Lantern, Atom, Detective Comics and the Justice League of America in one of DC’s earliest ‘story arcs’, but this issue is where her illustrious career began. (And yes, they did miss a bet by not having her featured on the cover. Foolish mortals!). This VG+ pence copy is available at £175. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
