Hawkes

Hawkes stepped onto the page in 1955, born from the pen of the legendary Joe Maneely in the pages of Black Knight #2 — a Golden Age Marvel creation steeped in the sword-and-sorcery atmosphere that made that era so distinctive. With appearances stretching into the late 1960s and a collector-significant key issue to their name, this is a character whose footprint, though compact, carries real historical weight. Sharing adventures with figures as storied as The Black Knight, Sir Percy, Modred, and even Sub-Mariner and Thomas Raymond, Hawkes moves in genuinely remarkable company across Black Knight and Marvel Super-Heroes. Four appearances may seem modest, but in the world of Golden and Silver Age Marvel, that kind of concentrated, curated presence is exactly what makes a character worth tracking down.
