The Hawk

Few characters can claim roots as deep as The Hawk, who took flight all the way back in 1938 — the Platinum Age of comics — when creator Vern Henkel introduced him in the pages of Feature Funnies #7. What's remarkable is that this early pioneer has managed to resurface across nearly eight decades of comics history, from those vintage Feature Funnies pages through to Visions and modern reprints via Gwandanaland Comics, the publisher dedicated to keeping golden-era gems alive for today's collectors. A rare window into the very origins of the superhero genre, The Hawk is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you how rich and deep the history of comics truly runs.
