Hawk and Dove #1

The duo of Hawk and Dove burst onto the scene in this 1989 series opener from DC, with cover art by Greg Guler and Karl Kesel that says everything about the tone: Hawk lunges forward in his bold red-and-white costume, claws outstretched, while Dove soars gracefully behind him against a fiery yellow sky erupting with explosions — all as a squad of armored, heavily armed soldiers scrambles in alarm below. The contrast between the two heroes — raw aggression and cool composure charging headlong into the same fight — makes for a genuinely compelling visual partnership, and the creative team of Barbara Kesel, Karl Kesel, Greg Guler, and Scott Hanna brings real energy to this fresh start.
