Notes | Somewhat based on the cover to Hawkman (DC, 1964 series) #11 (December 1965-January 1966). Dick Giordano in an email to the indexer has confirmed that he inked this cover, and suspects that he pencilled it based on a layout from Carmine Infantino. However, it also seems to have a Curt Swan look; particularly Hawkman. |
Characters | Hawkman [Katar Hol] (origin); Paran Katar; Man-Hawks; Hawkgirl [Shayera Hol] (cameo); Thanagar |
Synopsis | Katar Hol and his father are on Thanagar testing a new wing invention, when they come across giant hawks with masks stealing artifacts, surprising as Thanagar has no crime. Katar manages to steal a weapon mask from one of them, and devises a way to counteract its effects, using a hawk mask of his own invention. That allows them to capture the alien man-hawks. Thanagar decides to create a police force, and later sends Katar and his wife Shayera to Earth to study its police methods. |
