Who is Don Hall?

Don Hall is the original Dove, one half of the superhero duo Hawk and Dove. Created during the late 1960s, he and his brother Hank Hall were granted powers by a mysterious extra-dimensional entity, embodying peace and pacifism as a counterpart to his brother's aggression.

Few Silver Age debuts carry the philosophical weight of Don Hall, who first took flight in Showcase #75 in 1968, brought to life by the legendary Steve Ditko and Steve Skeates at DC Comics. Emerging at a moment when superhero comics were grappling with the tensions of a turbulent decade, Don's story has always felt like it meant something beyond the page. Over a remarkable publishing span stretching across 55 years, he's kept extraordinary company β€” sharing adventures with Green Lantern, Robin, The Flash, and the Teen Titans crowd β€” and his appearances in Hawk and Dove and DC Universe: Legacies cement his place as a genuine piece of DC's living history. With two collector-recognized key issues to his name and a legacy that has quietly endured for over half a century, Don Hall is exactly the kind of character that rewards the curious fan who digs a little deeper.
