Hawkman #12

Hawkman #12 from 1966 pits the Winged Wonder against a massive winged dragon in a breathtaking mid-air brawl, with Hawkman gripping his mace and bracing bare-handed against the creature's snapping jaws — Murphy Anderson's cover work capturing every talon and scale with remarkable energy.
