Skywolf

Skywolf is a World War II-era aviator hero who debuted in the Golden Age, fighting aerial battles alongside characters like Airboy and Valkyrie in the patriotic, combat-driven world of wartime aviation adventure.

Few characters carry the grit and altitude of the Golden Age quite like Skywolf, who first roared onto the scene in Air Fighters Comics #12 in 1943, brought to life by Carl G. Hodges during comics' most patriotic and sky-obsessed era. A fixture of Eclipse's celebrated revival of that wartime world, Skywolf shares the skies with legendary company — Airboy, Valkyrie, and a cast of characters that made Eclipse's run a love letter to Golden Age aviation adventure. Spanning an impressive arc from 1943 all the way into 1989, this character bridges the original wartime pulse of the Golden Age with the sophisticated nostalgia of the late Bronze and early independent-comics era, appearing in marquee titles like Total Eclipse and Airboy. For collectors who prize that rare combination of historical roots and a genuine second life in the hands of passionate publishers, Skywolf is a find well worth tracking down.
