Tom Hawke

Emerging from Malibu Comics' ambitious Ultraverse initiative in 1993, Tom Hawke is a Copper/Modern Age figure brought to life by the creative trio of Gerard Jones, Len Strazewski, and Norm Breyfogle — a genuinely impressive pedigree for any character's debut. His 18 catalogued appearances span a fascinating corner of that mid-nineties universe, turning up across Hardcase, Prime, and even the offbeat normalman - Megaton Man Special, which speaks to a versatility that kept him in circulation throughout the Ultraverse's run. He shares his pages with some of that imprint's heaviest hitters — Hardcase, Prime, Prototype, and others — placing him squarely in the thick of Malibu's most exciting storytelling years. For collectors hunting the full texture of the Ultraverse beyond its marquee names, Tom Hawke is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
